Notes About The Poem

" BEAUTIFUL WORLD " MY PHOTO, ©

An Open Letter To President Putin

Oh, you powerful president of great Russia:
The largest country in the world 
With its 17.1 square kilometers area 
Covers 1/8 of the inhabited land of the globe.

Why have you attacked neighboring Ukraine?
Why started killing its people and devastating their land,
At the moment they hadn't caused any harm to you
Neither had they intended their country to expand?

You say you are a Christian and that to God you believe
Yet, the whole planet you threaten to destroy
With the 6,257 nuclear warheads, you possess
From which the 1,456 you are ready to deploy.

Ivan the fourth "The terrible " one may think your ancestor is
For he also to church went each and every day
And when the mass, finally, after many hours over was
He was going to torture men and some of them to slay.

Now, in the 21st century that we live
You seem Ivan's ferocious and heartless image to revive
Perhaps to torture and threaten the world with obliteration
BUT Mr. President know this: No matter what you do, we shall survive!

Sotto Poet Date: 4/1/2022 4:56:00 PM The only thing this psychopath recognizes is the use of excessive force. I believe his time is drawing to a close. He has lost a large number of soldiers and equipment, and his logistical support is unable to keep up. Demetrios, your last phrase is as well written as the rest of your message. Thank you for sharing! Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 4/2/2022 2:49:00 PM My dearest friend, Lasaad. Thank you so very much for your kind visit and comment. Blessings!

L Milton Hankins Date: 4/1/2022 9:58:00 AM YES! Demetrios. YES! I wish he could read this. Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 4/1/2022 10:10:00 AM I wish him to read it but I am certain he will " take care of me " afterwards. I know it but still I must stand up against him. Thank you for your precious comment. Blessings.

Vijay Pandit Date: 4/1/2022 5:29:00 AM Only thing he understands is force. I think his end is coming soon. I like your ending line, Demetrios. Beautiful flowers my friend! Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 4/1/2022 7:27:00 AM True! He is a trained spy and perhaps a murderer with no emotions, therefore ,we should not be surprised that he is able to destroy the world. He says he is a Christian and he has visited the monastries in Athos Greece. Let us pray him to be guided to do good and not evil things. Thank you, my dearest friend, Vijay!

Tom Cunningham Date: 4/1/2022 12:54:00 AM No true Christian would behave in such a manner and going to church every day won't save him from the fires of hell. Tom Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 4/1/2022 2:34:00 AM That is for certain, my dearest friend, Tom. Unfortunately he tries to drag the world to catastrophe! Blessings
