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,
by 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, evil, incarnated,
controlled everything about him,
nowhere to hide, tormented,
by the stain of innocent blood...
May he be cursed, damned forever,
imprisoned in his dreams, his nightmare,
recurring, repeating, screams in the night,
seeing each face, every bloody body,
all those he has tortured, killed, haunted,
by the stain of innocent blood...
may he be caught in nightmares forever
for the crimes he is committing,
the war on their neighbors,
on humanity, his own people,
by 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, evil, incarnated,
controlled everything about him,
nowhere to hide, tormented,
by the stain of innocent blood...
imprisoned in his dreams, his nightmare,
recurring, repeating, screams in the night,
seeing each face, every bloody body,
all those he has tortured, killed, haunted,
by the stain of innocent blood...

The stain of innocent blood – v5
https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-stain-of-innocent-blood-v5.html
This poem is about the character Pontius Pilate in the novel, Master and Margarita,
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...
originally drafted April 1, 2022, 38 days into the full-scale invasion
