Political murders
A secret Russian agent is in London poisoned
in the old way of the KGB by radioactive means,
which only superpowers have the means of;
but that Russia, which alone was motivated to the murder
does of course deny it, as did Putin when the journalist of civil courage
Anna Politkovskaya was murdered
shot down in the elevator of her home
with no less than five mortal bullets
in the ordinary mafia style,
which murder also only Russia could have any motive for.
Things don't look any better
as the murdered London agent Litvinenko
was investigating the aforesaid murder
of the lovely Anna Politkovskaya;
but Putin and the politicians reason with some realistic cynicism:
"Who cares? Who has the energy and time to bother
when the world goes down the road to ruin anyway
by aids, catastrophes, malaria, TBC,
the global warming and ever increasing floods?
We can afford to overlook some small politic murder,
one or two, a dozen or another
since they must be soon forgotten anyway
and disappear in the most boring usual flow
of normal global catastrophical statistics."
