Feed The Bear Poem by Gordon David

Oh Mister Putin, please don't be a fool
Continue to rule, from your Ministers stool
Your warnings of war sometimes make me sigh
But please believe me, I hope that you try

Putin, you are a popular leader
Why? I do not know
Please keep on talking
Let your juices flow
You're not my favourite world leader
If you retired, what would you do?
What is this war about? I haven't a clue?

A rainy night in Georgia, a hard rain
The Midnight Train To Georgia, feel the pain
Georgia is on my mind, another war
The Russian Bear sharpens its claws once more

Peace keeping? Stopping the Ethnic Cleansing?
An invasion is what you're commencing
Is this another hundred year war?
Is South Ossetia worth dying for?

The butchery of innocents, the ruination
The destruction of war, the annihilation
A Georgian melting pot is still stewing
A school of learning is now a ruin
