Notes About The Poem

Nico

He was my bodyguard
Felled by Russian air
Toxic is the poisonous ghost
That reads no poetry

When you walk
Beware not to dream
Out of breath in a park
One day you will scream

If your family is all dead
No one left as your life fades
When will we look into the devils eyes?
And yell to Putin his last goodbyes?

On the surface it looks as if they are doing something but they really aren't

It kills me that Putin gets away with everything. So happy I am Canadian. Great write Arthur. I hope all is well with you. :) I wanted to send a shout-out to you regarding MauriceYvonne’s latest poem. It’s great to see fellow poets get noticed on this site for their brilliant work as well as the web series he is working on.

It is of little comfort to know that one day he will get what's coming, Arthur, but he will. Fine write. Regards, Viv
