May he dream of horrors, pain, the terrors,
may he be caught in nightmares forever
for the crimes he is committing,
the war on their neighbors,
on humanity, his own people,
the stain of innocent blood…
He is now the embodiment of pure evil
King of the North, this false Tsar, this Satan,
condemned, no matter how many times
he may seek to wash his hands
he will forever be haunted, cursed,
by the stain of innocent blood…
Eternity not long enough, for his torment,
the gates of hell refusing him welcome,
generations on generations, cursed,
this man-child, this beast, his id,
controlled everything about him,
nowhere to hide, tormented…
may he be caught in nightmares forever
for the crimes he is committing,
the war on their neighbors,
on humanity, his own people,
the stain of innocent blood…
King of the North, this false Tsar, this Satan,
condemned, no matter how many times
he may seek to wash his hands
he will forever be haunted, cursed,
by the stain of innocent blood…
the gates of hell refusing him welcome,
generations on generations, cursed,
this man-child, this beast, his id,
controlled everything about him,
nowhere to hide, tormented…

The stain of innocent blood – v4
by Mikhail Bulgakov, where Pilate is spending eternity, not in heaven or hell,
but trying to wash the innocent blood Jesus Christ from his hands.
This poem is transferring that same nightmarish judgment on Vladimir Putin
for the innocent blood of the people of Ukraine...

Ukraine Ambassador to United Nations
extracts of his speech to the General Assembly
#nuclearwar
‘This war was not provoked. It was chosen by someone right now
that is sitting in the bunker. We know what happened to the person
who sat in the bunker in Berlin, in May, 1945,’
said Ukraine’s U.N. envoy Sirgiy Kyslytsya .
