Ukraine is putting up a brave fight and is not giving in A two finger salute to that murderer, Vladimar Putin For eight months now they've held out in their cities Dispite missiles, murder, rape and other atrocities. Putin thought he had the most powerful and efficient army If you believe that garbage you'd be bordering on barmy They're inefficient, ill equipped, and cowardly in battle When Ukraine advances they quickly retreat from trouble. As winter approaches he's trying to demoralise the nation By sending orders to his vile Orcs to bomb a power station The west must send generators to help ease their plight Along with more weapons to help, brave Ukrainians fight. The grain shipments to poor nations is now under threat That man is sub human and how much lower can he get? Like the Roman empire and the Nazis big cracks will appear Putins Russian empire will crumble and eventually disappear. The Russian army has a long yellow streak down its back It fires missiles indiscriminately when it's under attack No thought for human life be it kids, women or old men Sanctioned in that scum ridden place, they call the Kremlin. Putins campaign for more troops is not going too well No decent minded Russian wants to go into that hell He's recruiting in prisons, along with the old and the lame Putins cannon fodder and for Ukraine they're fair game. We must not let Putin succeed, with his 'special operation' He must think we're stupid; it's war against a peaceful nation I have every faith in brave Ukraine and in the end they will win There will be no Russian victory, and hopefully the end of Putin. Victory to Ukraine. Written on 1st November 2022.

Wow Tom truer words i'v never heard. he is lower than scum. He is akin to a rat living in the sewers. When the brave Ukrainians win and Putin's Russia is economically destroyed, which it is already downwards going, he should be caught and publicly hanged drawn and quartered. Good work Tom. Blessings, Jennifer

Thank you very much Jennifer, I'd hang him then revive him and hang him again and feed him to the dogs. He's subhuman and a disgrace to humanity, him and his army of murderers and rapists. Tom

Thank you very much Harry, great news that Kherson is now back under the Ukrainian flag. Putin is finished now, all those deaths for nothing. Tom

Thank you very much Jennifer, that dog is getting desperate, he knows he won't win. Targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime, he's trying to freeze people into submission. He's a murdering scumbag and doesn't deserve to live. Tom

He will go down in history as one of the most reviled, unstable and evil people that ever lived. He presides over a Mafia state and one day will have to answer for everything. Another great and powerful poem Tom. Cheers - Gary

Thank you very much Gary, he will always be remembered as a mass murderer, I look forward to the headline to say he's either died or been assassinated, hopefully by his own side. Tom

I am sure many will agree with your sentiments, Tom. This has now gone too far, and a quick end is hoped for before winter sets in. ~ Best regards // paul

Thank you very much Paul, that murderer is now targeting power stations to try and demoralise the people of Ukraine. He's made a big mistake in invading and has lost thousands of troops but he couldn't care less. The man is pure evil. Tom

What about th Russian families fleeing to other countries….., as they have zero interest in death for themselves or Ukrainians? Putin should go out himself and get his head blown off. **What about Putin cutting off oil supplies to Europe? Non Ukrainians may freeze to death.**Horrible! And China good friends with Russia? Creators of the China Virus! Pangie. Great Poem, Tom

Thank you Pangie, I feel for the decent Russians who disagree with Putin, protesters are arrested and jailed, mention War and its the gulag or they disappear. I'm sure China is supplying that cretin with arms. Tom

Thank you very much Mike, that creep is becoming very unpredictable and it's a worry as to what he'll do next, when he does go the world can breath a sigh of relief. Have a great weekend. Tom

Well written and informative, Tom. Right on point! Victory for Ukraine! Bill

Thank you very much Bill, Putin is desperate and targeting power stations, that man is pure evil. Tom

A two-finger salute for sure...but face-to-face with Putin I would only give him one and it wouldn't be my pinky or thumb (lol). Great piece, Tom.

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/3/2022 4:23:00 AM

Thank you very much Charlie, he certainly underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian defenders, he's losing men on a grand scale but he couldn't care less. Surprised his own people haven't taken him out yet. Tom

Your optimism gives hopes to everyone. But the sufferings of the Ukranians are untold and we have no guarantee when this nightmare will end. The belief that war will end very soon is hoping against hope.... I feel. As usual a great poem, dear Tom

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/3/2022 12:48:00 AM

Thank you very much Valsa, Putin by destroying power stations hope they will submit but they'd rather freeze to death rather than give in to that scum. Tom

A hymn to the freedom fighters, my dearest friend, Tom. Be blessed for this monumental writing. A FAVE for me, God bless you for caring!

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/3/2022 12:46:00 AM

Thank you very much Demetrios, when they invaded I thought that would be it and that he had got away with it again. The Ukrainian people proved everyone wrong with their extreme bravery and I have the greatest admiration for them. Thank you too for faving it. Tom

You strap him to the chair, Tom… and I’ll plug it in, gladly. I dare not contemplate what that cornered rat might do in his escalating desperation. If and when he is executed, I hope it will be a public broadcast, the pubs will be open all day and beer will be free. What a party that would be!

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/3/2022 12:42:00 AM

Thank you Terry, there would be no shortage of volunteers to flick the switch, I'd start on low voltage and watch the rat squirm. What a party that would be, free beer, the icing on the cake. I have great respect for human life but Putin does not qualify. Tom

All I dare say about this nightmare is that the ending is sure to be a surprise, be it this winter -- or years from now. OK, one more thing: I trust the news reports from the Western sources about as much as I do Putin's propaganda news outlets. The truth is somewhere in the middle, methinks. Not going 'as well' as the west thinks...

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/2/2022 11:12:00 AM

Thank you Gershon, I suppose painting a grim picture of things would be bad for morale. I'd like to think that Putin will be beaten. Tom

EVIL CREATURE! Well written Tom….Debx

Tom Cunningham

Thank you very much Deb, can't believe the west is letting him get away with it. He'll get what's coming to him one day, how that creature sleep at night is beyond me. Tom

- There is much I could write about this war and the people who are waging the war, Tom - It should have been stopped before it started - I write my name on your last line "There will be no Russian victory, and hopefully the end of Putin" -

Anne-Lise Andresen

- There is no punishment that can justify what this war has cost innocent people -

Tom Cunningham

Thank you very much Anne, he thought it would be easy, just roll in to Kviv and raise the Russian flag, His army are a bunch of murderers and rapists. The world will never forgive them for what they have done. Tom

Thank you for the poem, Tom. Everything must be done to support Ukraine! For goodness sake, stop whining about gas prices or inflation. This what it costs to stop a tyrant. If you think it is too much, just see what happens if we quit! Elizabeth

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/2/2022 3:29:00 AM

Thank you very much Elizabeth, I agree, I'd rather freeze than play into that murderers hands. Shame that we were so reliant on his gas. If he succeeds in Ukraine he'll be unstoppable and that's what we have got to prevent. Tom

To answer your question Tom, I think Putin can get a lot lower, he has absolute authority over the Russian federation, but it won’t make much difference on the battlefield, his war is unwinnable, I agree the west must keep supplying weapons to Ukraine, especially air-defence systems, to protect their cities and civilians, Iran too shows their true yellow colours, another outstanding factual poem, cheers David

Anne-Lise Andresen
Date: 11/2/2022 2:51:00 AM

"I think Putin can get a lot lower" ... he can / and will do it too

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/1/2022 3:24:00 PM

Thank you David, sadly you are right, he's broken every rule so far and does what he likes. Keeps dropping hints about his nukes and the west steps back, What's worrying the rat has his back against the wall and is very unstable. Iran along with North Korea are obviously supplying Putin, those air defence weapons are vital to Ukraine, they've managed to shoot down many drones and cruise missiles, he's trying to freeze the Ukrainians to death and using the grain as a weapon. The UN are a waste of time. All it takes is one bullet preferably from someone in the Kremlin and it would be over. Tom

Reportedly, the USA military budget of $800+billion is greater than the next 11-nations combined, yet, like Russia, its performance is nowhere near as proficient as the Israeli, so taxpayers should insist government just hire the Israelis to get the job done, and save billions. Too bad NATO is more prepared to help the Ukraine rebuild that it is to help the Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression! Aloha!

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/1/2022 3:16:00 PM

The Israelis are a force to be reckoned with, they certainly don't mess about, if Putin had invaded Israel he'd be six feet under by now. Tom

Vijay Pandit

He is getting more desperate by the day--destroying water and energy infrastructure. Don't how long will Ukraine endure--for the world may need to step in. Keep up the good work Tom--keep them in hearts and minds. I agree --Victory to Ukraine!

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/1/2022 2:31:00 PM

Thank you Vijay, he's hoping to break the morale of the people by cutting off their power and also will cause starvation in poorer nations who rely on grain from Ukraine. He really is sub human. Tom

Victor Buhagiar

He's a disgrace to humanity, a coward and worthless. His empire will fall. Lovely poem.

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/1/2022 12:44:00 PM

Thank you very much Victor, I fully agree, he's like a rabid dog that needs to be put down for all humanities sake. Tom

Thank you so much, Tom, for this inspiring poem. We must all stand in solidarity with the Ukrainians, who are courageous, patriotic, and hard-fighting. We must encourage, no, insist that our governments stand with them and help them in their time of desperate need.

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/1/2022 12:43:00 PM

Thank you very much Milton, Putin really underestimated the Ukrainian people who would rather die than let that despot have one inch of their land. I just hope the west can carry on with its support that will enable Ukraine to rid themselves of that Russian scum who have invaded their land. Tom
