Listen To the World, Mister Putin

Peace-loving peoples of the world are demanding of you, Mister Putin, That you cease at once this murderous and needless shootin'! Why can't you and others of your ilk leave other people alone? Don't you have a soul? Don't you care about the misery you have sown? How can you justify the indiscriminate massacre of a nation's population, Destroying families and the infrastructure of a peace-loving nation? Have you not seen the horror on a mother's face as she cuddles her little one, Being separated from her husband left to fight a war that only you've begun? Think of the grief among your nation's mothers' having lost a son, That you conscripted to use as fodder in the cruel war you've begun! We pray that with unwavering resolve that the valiant patriots of Ukraine, Will prevail and that soon, their peace and freedom they will regain! Peace-loving peoples of the world are demanding of you, Mister Putin, That you cease at once this murderous and needless shootin"!

Your words are words that make sense to a caring person for their fellow man. This guy is soulless and narcissistic Robert. He does not know the meaning of Empathy nor will he ever. It will take an act of God to stop this mayhem my friend. Thank you for your caring words for those fighting against this madman.

You are so right, Robert. I don't think Putin would have dared to invade Ukraine if Trump were president. Sadly, our nation is a rudderless ship under the current prez and thinking people can readily see this. God Help us - Best to you - Bob

The sad truth, the stark reality is that dictators like Putin care not a damn what others think. Moa, Stalin, Hitler operated on their own desires/goals/ ideas of creating an ever greater ever larger and far more formidable empire. Biden made USA look weak and stupid - Putin saw that and war was the result. History repeats itself.. Your fine poem a fav my friend. God bless..

Time to lay down the laurel wreaths and man up to Mr. Putin... Then again we're led by JoJo and Cackle-brain... With leadership like that, Putin and Xi and Kim all thrive. Sad days for Freedom. ~ Gershon

Joe, not true. What I mean is, there are millions of civilians here in the US, who kill hundreds each week and walk free! Rape and theft is like a hobby here! Drugs are like ice cream here! So the nonelected are far from saints. And boo on Australia for saying, they will not accept Israel’s Capitol. Australia..,a huge country hissing at Israel the size of New Jersey. Why don’t they have the cajones to go after Putin? A world full of nuts. Pangie

Hello Bob ... a relative poem for the moment. Hearts are breaking all over the world for the Ukrainian people. Like all despots, this bloke is deaf to the suffering and their screams in fear. Hopefully the Russian people will set him right - thanks Bob - Lindsay

A wonderful poem, Bob, filled with wise words and righteous anger! I don’t think Putin cares what anyone thinks of him, but at least most of the world is united in condemning him (but none quite so poetically!)…

Sorry, late on responding......Putin clearly is a psycho. But, as you know, the world is filled with them. Even many of our,evaders or leaders are responsible for rapes deaths. About ourown psychos? We elect and pamper them. An entire world cannot stop Putin? Baloney. I think they can. A fine poem. He can do us in or China. Send a nuke our way. We are Mortals! Have you ever talked to a crazy person? Putin lives where we do not. Pangie xoxo

A fine meaningful poem Robert to a meaningless war, most people in the world are disgusted by Putin’s actions, but he doesn’t care as he just sees this as an ideological conflict, I really hope his own army turn on him, cheers David
