Distract

Long ago, read a book
"First Lady."

It talked of a visit
By the White House couple
To London in U. K.

Kidnapped was the woman;
Replaced with another…

Not-so-wise president of US
Could not see difference.

Clever KGB's replacement
Was rapid in action, reaction;
"Distract if committing mistake."

First Lady was handled
By men of Soviet…

With Varied behaviours
Differed in size, thickness.

Important, to me, is
The games of replacement…

"Distraction"

I heard that Russia was involved in,
The US election…President's…

I ignored and observed;
No word said…

I recalled magazine in Iran
(Playboy of its time)
Was attacked by some and
Vandalised…

That, too, was nothing but
Distraction…

Totally disagree with borders
World around; mostly Ex-Soviets'
That then made province and state;
But with fall of Moscow' USSR
They turned to some questions!

Ukraine is one of them
Accepted by UN.

"We know that you need us,
We are here and with help, "
Promised USA.

Crimea is now part of Russia
Like seabed in oceans
Yet the rough and tall waves
Do what did replaced girl;
Distraction…

"Fight China, Venezuela
And others to make waves; "
Says US President…

Distraction
Distraction
Distraction

He engines the Putin to success;
Was stopped, suddenly by the house
Smoked gun; he was caught Red-handed!

He needs to find a way
Can find it only with
Distraction
Distraction
Distraction

"Send drones, kill fighters, "
He ordered to cause more
Distraction
Distraction
Distraction!
