Bad news building, growing for Putin,
Iran has been hit, reprisals.
Syria has fallen, allies falling…
Ukraine developed ballistic missiles,
An ally shot dead in Moscow…
What does that portend for the future?
sand almost out of the hourglass...
 
How his demons must call him, shrieking,
in the darkness, taunting him beyond midnight,
Does he know them? Does he know their names?
Does it matter what he has been drinking?
finding him alone in the bunker, his cell,
nowhere to go, to escape from his night terrors…
 
His living nightmares, like the snares on Pilate,
haunted daily by their innocent blood,
as Bulgakov shared so well, tormented…
His ego captured, in fear, in distance,
keeping everyone away from him,
more than at arm’s length…
 
No, he doesn’t have to fear Ukraine, NATO,
an outside aggressor, a foreign enemy,...
The threat is much closer, truly,
within the walls of his gilded dungeon,
sometimes as close as breath,
a dagger pushed into his chest…
 
His days are numbered, his life borrowed,
their curses already spoken, a mist, a fog…
The coup will come, in an instant, suddenly,
when he least expects it, sooner,
rising from the Kremlin itself,
from its very walls…
 
Will he groan, “Et tu, Brute?”
When a friend turns the knife…
Will blood fall from his lip,
frozen in mid-air, juxtaposed
with his shocked amazement,
that they got so close…

The paradigm must change – v2 #Putin

The leader is unimportant, for there to be change
that is needed, essential, for there to be peace,
He is a symptom of rot, not the cause of strife,
autocracy, power, this evil nation state,
a terrorist nation, unburdened
by the value of self, serfs instead,
Dead Souls, bodies documented,
valueless fodder for the cannons
for the march toward Empire…
The paradigm must change, forever,
But how will it be on time, in this moment,
a cancer, a virus, flows through their veins…
 
Gogol was right in his condemnation,
his assessment was on the mark,
the whole of Russia, the same evil,
baked in the cake, ingrained, resistant,
a virus indwelling, resurgent, autonomous,
outside of leadership, a manifestation of evil,
the Devil, hubris with the body,
a nation of “Dead Souls”, unfeeling,
not valuing human life autonomy,
individual identity, striving, progress,
settling for poverty, corruption, a wasteland,
at peace with nothing, without real hope…
 
Danger stalking in the Kremlin, in power,
the leader could be toppled, a coup,
an assassin at the ready, but the state
will not change, the paradigm is stuck
in the frozen wasteland, the expanse,
the myth of their people, the lies
that they have been told, propaganda,
for many generations, centuries
of spiritual subjugation, a toll too great
for peace to come within the system,
only to be defeated, to be dissolved,
destroyed, with nothing left…

#poetry #Ukraine #God #Russia #collapse #Putin #coup #coupdetat #threat #fear #paranoia #Kremlin #assassin

the smile of the #assassin – v6 #Putin #Kremlin

that moment soon will come,
receiving his final instructions,
the code word spoken aloud,
from the troika, the coup plotters,
their authorization for action,
quietly turning a doorknob,
his dagger at the ready,
within the halls of the Kremlin,
the smile of the assassin,
the grin of the hunt, in motion,
seeking his damned prey
his quarry down the corridor…
 
stealth his watchword,
his secret disloyalty apparent,
his training precise, practiced,
acting instinctually, a predator,
a mask of privilege, of fealty,
as no one would ever suspect,
silently approaching, touching,
this embodiment of evil,
“Vladimir the Illegitimate”,
the final tsar of Russia,
no remorse, no hesitation,
deftly thrusting the knife…
 
twisting the dagger, deeper,
into the bone, the sinew, swiftly,
the knife an extension of his spirit,
with purpose, without remorse,
the blade laced with poison,
to remove any doubt, polonium,
savoring the moment, smiling,
pausing for reflection, awareness,
Looking into his stunned eyes,
astonishment on his face,
unbelieving, terror, judgement,
that he ever got this close…

Only to die in #Moscow – v2 #Assad

A pyrrhic victory only,
for a few moments, truly
though he may not know it,
his escape will be short-lived,
avoiding the assassin’s bullet…
 
His flight from his capital, Damascus,
under the cover of darkness, lies,
this madman, this unholy tyrant,
the brutal warlord running,
quickly, just in the nick of time…
 
But his protector is no hope for him,
for his days too are numbered,
his fate is self-evidence, prophetic,
escaping the noose in Damascus,
only to die in Moscow…

“One of the main russian propagandists Solovyev suggests
Putin's resignation, blaming the russian leadership for failures at the frontline.”
