You thought with your army victory was won But Vladimar Putin just look what you've done Sweden and Finland are now joining the alliance Giving you the middle finger in their defiance. They've seen what you've done in the Ukraine And they do not want to suffer similar pain NATO is now expanding like never before And soon it will be at Moscow's front door. Good overcomes evil every single time In the near future you'll pay for your crime But you can't leave Russia; you're in a cage And if you do an assassin will engage. Only your close family will mourn your loss All the civilised nations won't give a toss Your scum army too all deserve excutution The sane world would see it as retribution. Ukraine will win and they shall overcome Your army are rapists and murdering scum They'll always be synonymous with atrocity And the image they portray is one of depravity. Written 26th April 2022.

I am not even sure this is true "Only your close family will mourn your loss" at the rate this maniac is going.

Maybe they'll say it was because he was ill and feel pity for him, he's got kids everywhere. Tom

It seems that you and I have exactly the same sentiments about Putin . He's rotton through and through no hope of redemption. Blessings Jennifer

Tom, An important message that has to be shared with the world. You have been a fearless voice for Ukraine's sovereignty, and it is only with the assistance of the West that Ukraine will be able to clear their nation of that filth.

Thank you Lasaad, Putin is paranoid thinking NATO is going to invade Russia, we're not that stupid and he knows it. But nothing can justify his invasion of a peaceful country, he miscalculated big time like he did in Afghanistan. He's certainly culling his own people using teenage conscripts as cannon fodder. Tom

Tom, your excellent poem is very expressive of the horrendous events perpetrated in Ukraine. On the news I saw Russian citizens interviewed on the streets and shuddered at their words--that Russia deserves to take Ukraine. I have to believe they're brainwashed! Janice

Thank you very much Janice, they only get Putins side of things via state controlled TV, I know those who are against Putin are arrested and heavily fined or imprisoned. Tom

War benefits those who cause it leaving the suffering to the innocents. Well written and rhymed Tom. Blessings xxoo

Thank you Connie, so true, it's the innocent who suffer the most. Surely there must be sane Russians who can see the damage he's causing their own country. Tom

"Good overcomes evil every single time In the near future you'll pay for your crime"..... Let us hope so ! In the end let the world rejoice over the defeat of a criminal and the triumph of a group of people who are just ! Well done. Tom !

Thank you Valsa, no one will miss that physchopathic war criminal and Russia must be made to pay for the damage they've inflicted on that peaceful country. Tom

Well done Tom. Another masterful write in support of Ukraine. Now they are talking nuclear weapons. Sad part is that they are not a rich country. But he has most supporting him. What a tragedy!

Thank you Vijay, I wonder would Putin be so stupid as to use them, surely he knows that the west would respond in kind, even if he's successful in taking Ukraine, how is he going to police it. Guerrilla warfare would ensue that could go on for years. I can't see him being man enough to admit defeat. Tom

A message that needs dissemination far and wide. You have been a courageous voice for Ukraine's freedom and the downfall of the tyrant. Thank you, Tom.

Thank you very much Milton, I just wish that I could do a lot more but I only have a pen to tell the civilised world what is happening over there. Tom

Blinken claims Putin has weakened Russia beyond repair. Too bad many Ukrainians won't live to see that! Keep at him, Tom! Aloha!

Thank you Rico, I hope the west gives them everything they need to make that happen. Tom

I've returned to see that your angst is keeping your ink flowing. Good for you, Tom. Now I'm off to read your other rally to arms posts. Thanks for your continuing support for Ukraine. If only more was given to end their nightmare.

Thank you very much Jenna, I hate injustices of any kind and what's happening to those poor people is unbelievable. The west needs to stand up more to that physchopath, I just hope they can get those weapons that have been promised to those Ukrainian defenders in the Donbas region before it is too late. Tom

Thank you very much Victor, only with the west's help will Ukraine succeed in ridding their country of that scum. Tom

Thank you very much Judy, it's up to us to ensure that Ukraine is supplied with weapons to defend its territory. They certainly didn't ask for this war or were ever a serious threat to Russia. Tom
