But the coup leaders reneged the next day
And took over the government
Which was immediately recognized by the US. [29]
Civil war ensued between the Nazi-friendly [30]
US-backed regime and the Russia-friendly
Donbas. Another treaty, Minsk 2 in 2015[31]
Could have ended it, but it was a lie
A hoax to win time for Ukraine [32]
To become the second biggest army in Europe. [33]
The Russkies felt cornered, with no way out but war.
They moved their troops to the Ukrainian border
And tried again to save the peace
With another treaty, published for the world to see. [34]
But the Yanks said no (after a month), refusing
To publish their response, despite Russia's request. [35]
The Russkies then invaded, to show that they were serious.
Naftali Bennet brokered a peace deal
And the West nixed it, too. [36] The Istanbul treaty
Was a done deal [37] until Boris Johnson
Told Zelensky to keep fighting because
The goal was to "weaken Russia"[38]
By giving billions to the military-industrial complex
To destroy Ukraine, more billions to rebuild it [39]
And getting hold of "10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals"[40]
And millions of hectares of the world's most fertile farmland. [41]
Now after two and a half years of war
It is clear to all with eyes to see
That Ukraine and its Western backers
Have lost, and Russia's terms for a cease-fire [42]
Are reasonable if understandably stricter
Than they were in 2022, but essentially
The same: Ukraine must be neutral
And pose no military threat to Russia.
That would have been a small price to pay
To save half a million lives, 6.5 million refugees
3.7 million "forcibly displaced" persons [43]
And five territories that are now Russian.
But still the hawks are squawking
Refusing to admit defeat
While the bodies pile up in Ukraine
And Gaza by the tens of thousands. [44]
"No!" is all the Yankees have to say.
To the pecker-plinking mass-suicidal pianist in Kiev
And the genocidal Torah-thumping maniacs in Tel Aviv.
The killing would stop tomorrow.
Alas, the Yankee politicos are paid by AIPAC [45]
To "Stand with Israel" and by the corporate war machine
To "Stand with Ukraine," while the "antisemites" and the "Putin puppets"
Do what we can, which is not nearly enough.
So, dear rats and cockroaches, let our epitaph read:
Here lies the human race, about everything
From wars to disease to knife-wielding Arabs
Faster than the US Air Force, able to blow tall buildings down
At free-fall speed into their own footprints, kill presidents
With magic bullets, walk on the moon (maybe)
Fight ferociously for years on end, for absolutely
Nothing. We killed Amalek! We fought The Putin!
We are the Champignons! Of the world!
That used to be.
