The Sailor (init caps to lower case)

 Sailor


shot through the teeth to get angry

The soldier of the seas

Recruited by a nation

to bring enemies to their knees

when kneeling was a sign of respect humble in most seas

a death rather than watching

opponents spoken of in praise

wooden benches waiting

mothers to appease


the wealth of thanks

too often frozen

only unless your wallet

more often chosen


for who to buy better

but the law of the letter


a countries vice in store

polluted Eastern shore

for the one in the west is drilled

to keep someone’s barrels filled


the Ukraine is taking requests

to help with jealous czar nests

patience comes to those with weight

enamored with dictator States


a combover hits the spot

where bone spurs were not

a captain of his domain

hunted for sport and game


he stuffed head of disown

makes another not reach his full grown

Eastern European power

hides behind sunflowers
