Carpet rolled for Putin

The colour it was red

Reflecting there the killing

And all the blood he's shed

Absent was Zelensky

Left behind in Kyiv

Where Russian drones still fill the skies

And many widows grieve

Trump gladhands the invader

Who's brought in from the cold

A pariah of the free world

Is welcomed to the fold

A ceasefire is no closer

Who knows concessions made

The Kremlin is the winner

And we have all been played.
