A nation of serfs - v2

Russia wants to return Ukraine

back two centuries ago 

as it was in Shevchenko's time,

making of this noble people 

a nation of serfs in service 

to their false Tsar, their dictator, 

Putin the Illegitimate...

Everything destroyed, rumble 

innocents killed, scattered,

all ground to dust, in blood,

a peole defeated, subjugated,

a nation of slaves, of serfs,

of a cruel master, 

an evil nation state...

But somehow, Muscovy,

does not know its neighbor,

its resolute spirit, Freedom,

tasting once more independence

when the Soviet Union fell,

defiantly saying never,

to Putin the Illegitimate...
