David Kavanagh Poet Monoku

Original Sin To Insanity

his child crime started petty ~ stealing red apples from bordering trees

his adult crime knows no bounds ~ red’s now invading bordering countries 

if red’s not faced down by us all ~ his madness will border world war three

Tom Cunningham February 27, 2022 at 12:19 AM From apples to big chunks of land, quite a leap. I might have 'scrumped' a few apples in my youth but stopped at that. Tom David Kavanagh February 27, 2022 at 12:40 AM We all did as kids Tom, back in those days it was almost a right of passage, but this Putin already has all the power and wealth in the Russia, and absolutely no need to invade Ukraine, so I’m guessing he’s a psychopathic megalomaniac and a very dangerous one at that, cheers David

Bill Baker February 26, 2022 at 4:22 PM How prophetic this poem may be. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, David. Our world seems to be at a precipice. God help us, before we destroy his beautiful creation. Bill David Kavanagh February 26, 2022 at 10:12 PM Thank you Bill, One way or another Putin must be stopped, he’s hoping the spectre of WW3 will keep him safe, but I’m not so sure, the world must stand united now, and not give another inch to him, cheers David
