He tried in vain for puppet reign
to stir the pot and plant the seed
of strife, intent for selfish gain -
this war was waged because of greed.
And then with force he fuelled his fight
but failed with arrogance to read
that folk, aggrieved, repel with might -
this war was waged because of greed.
For though he yearned to claim this state,
('twas written large within his creed),
its history revised its fate -
this war was waged because of greed.
His aim to seize, perhaps in days,
would redefine, avenge at speed;
his power and strength would shock and faze -
this war was waged because of greed.
But best laid plans will tend to stray
and should have taken greater heed
for good 'gainst evil would relay -
this war was waged because of greed.
And still this murd'rous fight goes on
while Ukraine's heart will burn and bleed
until the treasured gem is gone -
this war was waged because of greed.
