New poem: "Putin's Nightmare"

 

Putin’s Nightmare

 

Thursday, February 24, 2022, the day,

month, and year of the unthinkable horror

of the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine

by Russia’s nuclear-threatening war

machine, decimating cities and murdering

innocent people, displacing millions

from their homes and country, all to satisfy

President Vladimir Putin’s egomaniacal

lust to make real his demented dream

of resurrecting his country to its former

Soviet glory, and the genocidal murder

of distinctly Ukrainian people, many old

enough to remember the unthinkable horror

of the Nazi holocaust, crying in one voice

for the world to help them survive

Putin’s nightmare.
