Putin vs. Re-election

We human beings are very much the same.
We willingly elect our leading men
And women on the basis that if, when
We need to feel we’re powerful, the blame
For any old humiliation we
Have felt will sit affixed to others, all
The blame for any mishaps ere the fall
Of rule we had before will quickly be
Attributed to how we thought it best
To compromise, and all of our success
Will be affixed to us before the mess
Of someone else’s rise.  At the behest
Of basic human nature, Putin here
Has given show of strength, but never fear,
He knows that none of us will disappear.
