Stop This Mad Man

I see emptiness where there should be a soul
A man unscrupulous in ways most foul
I see a rat
A wild cat
Cornered at which he only sees one solution
He cares not for any peaceful conclusion
What has he got to lose, he’s lost his mind
Not one person on this planet could ever find
Within him a molecule of humanity 
Only cruel revengeful insanity
A man who lives in a bubble, isolating his country
Tearing down civilization, bluntly
Stop him and stop him now
It does not matter how
Extinction of our planet is at stake
Really, a leader, no a monster, a mistake, a robotic fake
Seek him out
Leave him alone and without.

Most wars are fought because of greed and a hunger for power. There is just no other way to explain it. It's horrible, and cruel and does nothing but destroy lives. We must pray the God will do something to save them from more tyranny. Well said Jennifer. God Bless, JB

The surefire way to stop him is something I, as a Christian, can't pray for! As you know, Russia bombed a maternity hospital a few days ago. Jennifer, your poem is very descriptive, timely, and appropriately emotional! Janice

Yes so true he must go, yet there is so much retribution to come, Jennifer, he will have marked all those that protested in his cities, to be visited at a later date, by his thugs (special police) to be like those in the west he's been poisoning for years now, destroy and eliminate. There is only one path for this guy, straight to hell he must go. Great poem such truth in there, Jennifer.

I think we must remember that the Russian people have been lied to by this nut case. They are being arrested in droves for their war protests; what will really happen to them in the end? So true, the lines you have penned.

He lost his mind, and his soul. What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and loses his soul?? This is powerful, and I say amen to your poem. God bless you Jennifer. <3

With you, I too share the indignation . He has opened the Pandora's box and is swallowing up the peace of the world. To protect his vested interests, he is butchering innocent people. Even the people of Russia may not be with him. Powerful tirade, Jennifer!

Absolutely. I have wondered why saner heads have not prevailed in Russia, but I'm to understand that Putin pretty much isolates himself from anyone who might spell danger to him.
