Everyday Poems

Children massacred, a country in ruins 
A lifetime of hate and strife
You see Vladimir
You really had a dreadful life

 
“One man’s life touches the lives of many”
And yours more than any
Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, and Salisbury
Unending strife
You see Vladimir
You really had a dreadful life

Lest we forget Dawn Sturgess
searching for what others left behind,
In her duress what did she find?
Eau de novochek
A horrible death aged only 44
Destined to enjoy life no more

20 year old Sylvia
Head crushed in Mayapol
Will never collect her diploma
Bathe in the light of the sun
Marry her love
Mother her son

Already over 300,000 dead
A lost youth, Ukrainian and Russian
Sacrificed on the alter of Putin
Conscipted against their will
When will your people have their fill
And rid us of you


In Red Square St Basil’s bell may ring, but
No angel will get their wings
You see Vladimir
You really didn’t have a wonderful life
