A Sam Cooke Classic Reimagined for Assad

PUTIN

Putin, draw up some plans

And help take back command

Of the rest of this shattered land for me.

Only for me.

_____________

Putin, please hear my cry

And let your bombers fly

Straight to the rebel lands for me.

___________

Now, I don’t mean to bother you

But I’m in a mess.

The country’s mine; won’t settle for a square inch less.

I love power, and I know you do, too.

I leave it up to you.
