Russia's four years of invasion, 
relentless bombardment, evil,
bent on conquest, destruction, 
a strategy of scorched earth 
to defeat these brave people 
to destroy their nation, Ukraine, 
the Truth of this Russia, 
what they have always been...

But they have already fallen,
Russia is a lethal paper tiger, 
they have lost other nations,
their once great empire is collapsing 
under the weight of failed conquest, 
the defeat of their army
relying on war crimes and carnage 
Shadow fleets, stolen assets...

Scorched earth will consume them,
Russia's infrastructure is crumbling, 
the neglect of their own people, 
dwelling in a savage hellscape,
a third-world nation and empire 
deluded by its own propaganda 
lying to their own people 
no rescue from immolation...
