Behind Putin: Aleksandr Dugin (English Sonnet) 2 Poem by Gert Strydom

Russian philosopher and ultranationalist
Aleksandr Dugin is a follower of the occult.
On Sixty Minutes he spoke to a journalist.
Russians follow his teachings like a cult.

His constructs are Xenophobic, apply to emotion,
to establish a Euro-Asian empire,
to his blue-print Putin has great devotion,
to destroy the Ukraine he does aspire.

Aleksandr Dublin wants the war to escalate,
did recruit some terrorists to fight the Ukraine,
the separatists do to his writings relate,
he told Putin: a great Russia to gain,

do demand Putin more authoritarian to be,
that Russia must control the whole Black Sea.
