Notes About The Poem

Putins Patriarch

Weren’t you lucky, up to time of your blood thirsty war,
Russian sports, especially gymnasts and ballet at the fore,
Gave your presidency of Russia somewhat of a credit,
Hopefully with Western sanctions you’ll swim in debit
And, as for the Patriarch of your Russian Orthodox Church
Strange bedfellows you are, so odd,
You Putin, and your puppet Patriarch, will one day face God.

Hi Jennifer, a wonderful write, written with such truth. There can be no forgiveness for what this man has done. Like us all, he and his shall one day have to face God and answer for their wrongs. How a Patriarch of the Russian church can condone this man's actions is beyond me. Vengeance shall be coming for these monsters. Love the write. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX

Dearest Jennifer, my lovely poetry sister, your potent pen speaks effectively to the moral hypocrisy and abuse of power seen with this man and his minions. How eloquent you are in expressing such a complex situation. It breaks my heart to see how one 'thug in power' can cause so much misery for millions of innocents. Your thought provoking poem reaches deep, my insightful friend. Indeed, One day they will stand before Him. Warmest wishes, love and hugs, my wonderful sis.. ~Susan

Thanks for your frankness concerning the unbelievable backing of terror by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. I like your new look as the woman in red, Jennifer. :-) Have a great week my friend. Bill

Well said, Jennifer. My guess is that neither of them will have a good time as a result of it. It strains credulity that somehow a person wearing a religious garb could back such a murderous scumbag. Kindest regards and hugs. Thanks for your wonderful comments on my page.

That Patriarch ought to take a long vacation in Noah's Ark -- during a flood. (Like your new glasses and new avatar, lady!). ~ Eye on You

Well put, Jennifer. If there is divine karma, then rumors of an aggressive and terminal cancer can be believed.

It is good we hold " religion" to a higher standard than politicians. Like how u wrote this ... The Patriarch ought to know he owes Jesus first LOYALTY. Smells like USSR, Sis

Fear rules in Russia. I'm sure the Patriarch would not dare condemn Putin.

How I wish this man of the cloth would talk some sense to Putin and charge him to remove his troops and formally apologize to Ukraine and send ample restitution. Very unlikely, I know, but how it saddens my heart to think delusional leaders can actually believe God would support such aggression, destruction, and taking of lives. By the way I love your new avatar, Jenny - you are a vision in red! Hugs and blessings ~ John

Indeed. And, I would say it won't be a pleasant experience for either. Nice write, Jennifer.

Well said Jennifer, how a man of the cloth could support that murdering scum beggars belief. Tom
