The Sochi Games

Fifty billion spent by the Russian Government on the Sochi Winter Games to bolster Alexander Putin's fame Seems a huge waste of money and a terrible shame At a time when many Russian people are doing it tough Just to keep inflated Putin's ego this is not good enough On staging the Winter and Summer Olympics and the Football World Cup billions in money is spent And poor people from these Games does not receive one cent Life in the Human World is only for winners is how it does seem To be short of money that goes with success does not do anything for one's self esteem The medalist in the Olympics know of Worldwide renown And become National heroes and heroines and the pride of their Hometown And billions spent to promote big egos in Sochi whilst homeless people in Russia are doing it tough In this so called enlightened age of the twenty first century this is not good enough With Alexander Putin in the World spotlight and he glowing with pride That the Sochi Games are about the promotion of big egos cannot be denied.
