Flood of Lies

A dam held vital water

But Russia saw a chance

To blow it all asunder

And halt Ukraine's advance

The devastation followed

By more of Moscow's lies

They quickly blamed the other side -

It should be no surprise

Vast swathes of land were flooded

Beneath a tidal wave

Homes were inundated

Some lives too late to save

Rescuers ran a gauntlet

Beneath the Russian shells

More killing of the innocents

More tolling funeral bells

One day there'll be reckoning

Of that there is no doubt

With Putin's crimes revealed to all -

The truth will then be out.
