Attrition a cancer – v2

Attrition a cancer, virulent,
the virus of Russia, of Putin,
metastasized, spreading,
devouring so much, defiant,
a plague upon this earth…
 
Attrition a cancer, spreading,
the virus of Russia, of Putin,
no soul, no memory, evil,
just abject carnage, genocide,
no remorse, only terror…
 
Attrition a cancer, to be defeated,
the virus of Russia, of Putin,
a war of genocide, of terror,
nothing remaining, destroyed,
yet they will surely rebuild…
 
Attrition a cancer, repeating,
the virus of Russia, of Putin
in hybrid war, in glide bombs,
in scorched earth tactics
from the past, from history,
but their time soon will end…
