Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Russia's Back and Shootin'

From Lenin to Stalin
Khrushchev to Gorbachev
The USSR tried to
choke the West off

Now with Vladimir Putin
Russia's back and shootin'
Masters of duplicity
Executions through toxicity

Jennifer Proxenos August 29, 2020 at 7:48 AM Yes, not one or two poisonings only, rather a lot, the last one still in a coma with possible life threatening consequences - do not oppose the sate, or else! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf August 30, 2020 at 6:13 PM That's right, Jennifer. Opposition in Russia = death, one way or the other. ~ gw

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri August 28, 2020 at 10:39 PM Woah a fine poetic political rant and I like how you found their names rhyme. Strong poem in condemnation. I thought you were not American. Because in my knowledge the only country that doesn't get along with Russia is America. Kudos! .............l..................... ........ ...........

Tom Cunningham August 28, 2020 at 2:04 AM You're so right Gershon, not a man I could trust, ex kgb, say no more. Tom Gershon Wolf August 30, 2020 at 6:08 PM To me, Putin's never really left the KGB. Hope he gets what's coming to him some day...
