Mark Koplin Poet Free verse

Inevitable

An evil comes absent of light, our future holds a violent night

This creature hunts the small and weak, but death will come for those who seek

Embittered by the time at hand, the lame will heal and make their stand

A tortured truth will fast take hold, you have been warned and now are told

Mislead are those now doomed to fail, your lurid ways will not prevail

Heinous lots have now been cast, your time on Earth will soon be past

Bloody is the path you’ve made, your soul will be your final trade

This message comes straight from the west, the last you’ll see will be our best

Lin Lane February 28, 2022 at 11:13 AM How gloomy the skies have become over the world with the onslaught of military force on the Ukraine. The sun shines over me, but I feel the darkness that spreads ever closer by the evil ones. Mark, I also feel your anxiety.

L Milton Hankins February 26, 2022 at 10:24 AM Exceptional writing, Mark. So apropro and meaningful for the current events. Let's hope that it well stop with Ukraine, as horrible as that is. If it goes beyond Ukraine's borders, I'm afraid NATO will have to step in, and that always means the use of American troops. This is certainly not a simple matter, and I'm afraid diplomacy won't really work with Putin. Thank you for these words! Mark Koplin February 26, 2022 at 6:47 PM Putin does not think rationally. He is a dictator and communist so our way of thinking does not make sense to him. We are in for some hard times I’m afraid. Thanks for your support Milt!

Jenna Logan February 26, 2022 at 6:17 AM I feel the darkness of your frame of mind. Shadows have been cast over the world by a madman driven by greed. Yet, Trump labels Putin a “genius.” There is no salve to soothe the wounds of war. I join you in the darkness over the atrocity taking place. L Milton Hankins February 26, 2022 at 10:27 AM Good to see your contribution here, Jenna. As you know, I've missed you. Mark Koplin February 26, 2022 at 9:25 AM I hope this conflict is over quick and stops right there. The alternative is horrible to imagine. Thank you so much for your support my friend! Mark Koplin February 26, 2022 at 9:06 AM Trump is as nuts as Putin if he thinks that! Putin will get knocked of his high horse but it is going to bring a heavy toll
