One Thousand Days of Swallowing

For a thousand days, they’ve swallowed,
Each word, each lie, each hollowed.
A flag of red, blue, white they claim,
Yet their honor burns in shame.

They bow to boots, their pride consumed,
A nation's song, forever doomed.
With open mouths, they choke on fate,
Swallowing truths they learned too late.

The NATO fist, the bitter taste,
A thousand days, their honor erased.
Through frost and fire, they gulp the blow,
As the world moves on, their fall will grow.

Swallow hard, for times will change,
A thousand days of swallowing, strange.
Your empire crumbles, your people stray,
But history will remember this day.
