“Putin Is a Killer”
POETRY FORMAT, 3 Apr 2017
Gary Corseri – TRANSCEND Media Service
(Beginning with a line by US fake-news media honcho, Bill O’Reilly)
“Putin is a killer!”
He wears a black hat!
We wear white hats!
Therefore, by definition,
we are NOT killers!
“Putin is a killer!”
He speaks Russian.
We are polyglot.
He says “Nyet!”
when he means “No!”
His is the language of killers!
“Putin is a killer!”
This is all very logical!
It’s axiomatic.
How do I know?
I wear a white hat!
