Joe Maverick Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

I tried to rhyme the below write.. Maybe its just too heavy a subject? Or ssomething to do with putins Walk.? Anyway my effort.'

A quick review on putin '

Ex-KGB prime minister then president 
twice.? Entered into Minsk accords..
Watched many countries from
The old Warsaw pact shorn.'
Did allow a con-vid response.' Yet  no 
coercion or shaming, no fear ensconced
Not as i could have expected, it to be.?
Then in early twenty, twenty two, put a
Military force into Ukrainian sectors 
All pro-Russian i'd say; thats quite true.'
Banned transgender and same sex 
coupling, he gets disparaged..He appears viewed
From outside, a determined leader.' Internally
I undamaged' What
Effects will be engendered, how long will
He linger.? Will he deter
another world war? Almost by default.? Whats waiting in
Store? I remember the old cold war.' Claim and
Counter.? I'd rather that, than continents 
burst asunder.? I view the scenes and hope
Some sense.? Could things cool down.? I
Forget recompence..And for what.? I plead
No war..Neither big nor small. They are counter productive chores."

Joseph P. DiMino January 17, 2026 at 3:09 AM We are all on the outside looking in...I am certain even his close associates do not know him. Probably in a social setting he behaves like any other father, loving with his children. Absolute power imagined, makes lunatics. That is why Washington refused a third term. Actually said that was his reason. Joe Maverick January 17, 2026 at 9:47 AM Yes you jog my memory now Joe Dimino..Washington a Man of some principles...Credit to him, To his Country also.)
