Rasputin

A mysterious guy  
who was devilishly gifted  
wore a healer's dress  
like a clergyman
kind of wolf in sheep's clothing  
but his eyes bared another ego
 
he crept into women's hearts  
and strangled their resistance
with fervent thrusts
untill the souls were slashed
a cemetry of trophies  
he bent men's iron will
and got what he wanted  
and finally his manhood  
made the queen whisper  
his wishes to her husband
 
he changed the course of  
country's destiny.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
