Putin said he wouldn't invade, but then he's known for his lies So when he sent in his murdering scum, it came as no surprise It will go down in the annals of history, as Putin's great blunder And if anything it's united Ukraine, and not tore it asunder. American President Joe Biden has now found a way To make that despicable war criminal, Vlad Putin pay To Ukraine he's sending lethal predator, and reaper drones That will help to build stocks of dog food, of Russian bones. Russian soldiers are not human from what we have seen You've read and seen the evidence, so you know what I mean They're gutless and have yellow streaks all down their backs And scurry down to the sewers when Ukraine counter attacks. Russians fire from a distance and let their lethal missiles fly At hospitals, nurseries and any innocent civilians passing by They only kill unarmed men, women and children, who pose no threat But Russia, the civilised world is watching and we will not forget. Red flags are what the Russians are using, to justify a crime But the world is not stupid and it can see through the grime A Russian town on the border was shelled so they could blame Ukraine Then used it as an excuse to inflict, more misery and pain. Every Despot who commits war crimes will always pay the price Putin the war dog will be put down, Ukraine will not think twice He'll have to surround himself with thugs and be lucky every day But an avenger will only have to strike lucky once, to make Putin pay. No tears were shed when he lost his flagship, in the black sea It is one lethal weapon less to use, against that war torn country The west thought sanctions alone would bring this war to an end But it hasn't really worked, so more arms the west must send. The battle for the Eastern Donbas region is well underway And for those brave Ukrainian defenders, we must all pray They're fighting to defend their freedom and sovereignty But only military aid from the West will ensure their victory. The horrific scenes we've seen on the news of towns reduced to rubble Are because Putin knows he's not winning and that he's in trouble At his forthcoming military parade, he's hoping to announce a victory But if he was an honest man he'd tell his country, that he's failed miserably.

This is why it is important for all of us to pray for the Ukraine. "And for those brave Ukrainian defenders, we must all pray They're fighting to defend their freedom and sovereignty "

Brilliant Tom. You don't hold anything back and nor should you. I worry that with all the images we see on TV every day that there will come a time when the public almost get used to seeing the horrors of war and become complacent. That must never be allowed to happen. I like you feel for all Ukranians but also those innocent Russians too who have to live in the failed state that is Russia under Putin and his henchmen...I'm now going to breathe in deep and then breathe out slowly. Cheers - Gary

Thank you very much Gary, it's heartbreaking to see what's going on there, so many innocents murdered by Russian scum. You're right about many Russians not supporting Putin, of course if they speak out they get arrested. I think someone needs to call Putins bluff because its seems to be every thing on his terms. He ought to be reminded that we too have nukes. Tom

An evil doer who spills innocent blood will be punished now or here after ! A well thought out and beautifully structured powerful poem..... Tom

Thank you very much Michael, the sort of cruelty we're seeing inflicted on Ukraine beggars belief, thankfully evidence is being gathered of war crimes committed. Tom

Your poems are now famous for the truth about a rascal that deserves to be hanged along with some soldiers whose aim is to butcher people. Well written, Tom.

Thank you very much Gershon, I hope so too, the west should give Ukraine everything they ask for and give it now. I hope Putins luck runs out soon for the good of all mankind. Tom

You are on mark, as always, Tom. Putin will pay for his atrocities, hopefully soon, and in the end he will be defeated. More lethal weapons are reaching Ukraine right now. Any victory he may claim will be short lived. Kudos for writing this as part of history for future readers.

Thank you very much Vijay, I hope the Ukrainian defenders can break the circle Russia is trying to create,if Russia succeeds then the Ukrainians in the east will be cut off which would be catastrophic for them. Tom

Your poem, dearest Tom, reflects the truth from A to Z! He is a criminal that kills the people of Ukraine for his own pleasure. He is worst than Hitler or any other criminal in history. Why did he declare war? He has by far the largest country in the world and he wants to make it larger. When is he going to stop? The Ukrainians would be victorious because the right and the world is on their side!

Thank you very much Demetrios, he's certainly a power hungry murdering despot. He underestimated the Ukrainian people who are fighting to defend their nation and we must do everything to help to enable them to be victorious. Tom

tom - you've done a magnificent job of bringing us all up to date in excellent rhyme! bravo!

When anyone views the destruction caused by Russian aggression, even Russians must gasp at what it will cost to restore "civilisation"! Do they think all those land mines will magically disappear? Russians supporting Putin need to see their psychiatrist TODAY! Aloha!

Thank you Rico, one way or another the civilised world must ensure Russia replaces every brick and compensate every family that lost loved ones to Putins murderous scum. Tom

I do not trust our President to do a thing. I think of the thousands dead. Sanctions do not work. Given he left soldiers behind and all military in Afghanistan. We lost millions and left equipment, behind, I have little faith in whatever he says. Putin needs a strong adversary. With the gumption to destroy him, Tom. The USA is a weak one. Will email you Lobe, Pangie xo. Great Poem

It may not be what some people think, but I'm very glad we have a president who does not rush to war! He has so much more information to assess than we can begin to know. His first task is to "protect and defend the United States of America." And that also means he needs the respect of the citizenry. Thank God Biden got us out of Afghanistan. It was a bottomless hole and we were spending billions...for what? I wonder why the previous administration didn't stop the war in Afghanistan, eh?

Thank you very much Pangie, talk is cheap with any leader, its solid action that defines them. We can all spout fancy talk but without action to back it up its meaningless. Tom

I'd like to see him lynched Tom! Good writing!! Happy Wednesday!!!

I’d say he’s sorry already he ever stepped foot in Ukraine, but he cannot be seen to back down now with nothing, or he most certainly will be lynched by his own people, his troops are alcoholics and murderers, I hope the western weapons make a difference, I enjoyed the read Tom, as always well written and factual, cheers David

Thank you very much David, it seems his spies gave him duff Intel, one has been sent to prison never to be let out. You're right, they're a bunch of undisciplined murderers. Ukraine is doing its best to drive them back but the west needs to supply those weapons fast or it will be carnage. Tom

Amen Tom! Putin has built himself a cage of his own making. He will be forever isolated. His actions will be numbered among the most horrific in history and viewed with disgust and revulsion for all time! Thank you for sharing these words. I truly hope we will learn lessons of compassion and morality from this senseless and brutal war. Hope you are doing well. Over Fork Over!

Thank you very much Sam, the civilised world will never forget his murderous campaign which has targeted mostly men, women and children. The man is a butcher and one day he'll pay for those crimes his murdering scum has committed against humanity. Hope you're keeping well. Over Fork Over. Tom
