A Invocation On Putin's Reaction On The Sevastopol Usv Harbour Attack And The War In Ukraine Poem by Gert Strydom

"It is God who alters the times and seasons,
and he removes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning." Daniel 2: 21

Putin the head of the Russian terrorist state,
is so shaken by the Sevastopol USV-drone attack
that to a pen he has taken Russian submarines back,
where he did at first in the invasion elate,

now by his acts he does the people of Ukraine hate,
it's that of Ukraine being a country he looses track,
do not know that to win Russia do resources lack;
to launch 50 missiles on innocents he could not wait.

Every time Ukraine hits the Russian military,
Putin takes revenge on civilians and kills them
four ships and the Admiral Makarov was hit,
it is evident Ukrainians do not want Russians to be
and it seems nothing can Russian atrocities stem,
where normal people do not into a despotic society fit.

To try and kill as many Ukrainians by any way
near Bahkmut Russia uses prosperous munitions,
against the Geneva Convention another of the attritions
and infrastructure is by Russian hits taken away,

while the Ukrainian army do Russian soldiers slay,
are determined and to Russia in opposition:
to know that Russians rape, rob and kill takes no commission,
while with in-fighting they do each other betray,

even the grain-deal Putin tries to end,
as Russian missiles on civilians rain down
and without electricity, water and shelter people are;
as he thinks the world he can to his will bend,
Russia has devastated normal people in every town,
but they are better than being Russian by far.

Where Russia pushes back with its reservists by force
with thunder-run Blitzkrieg tactics Ukraine do gain,
while into a meat-grinder as canon-fodder Putin endorse
the mass-slaughtering of his troops that do remain,

Russian reservists run from trenches as barrages come,
with this point out the location of seasoned troops
and the killing of these Russians is gruesome
as Rosgvardia, Chechens and Wagner never recoup

the N26 highway, the R66 highway and the T1302 highway
are now more under the Ukrainian control
while cut-off from supplies they do the Russians slay
as every well trained soldier do play their role

in total decimation the Russian soldiers do go
as if attacking in force is the only thing they know.

In the Kherson Oblast the Russians pull back
where they have brought concrete pillboxes in,
try to Ukraine into an ambush that they set to attract,
where by killing many Ukrainians they think they win.

In Kherson City the Russian flag is going down
while machinegun nests are spread throughout the city,
some are at the river edge in Nova Kakovka town,
and Putin and his generals think they are witty:

l'Envoi
these pillboxes will for reservists lead to death,
to decimate two hundred thousand more Russians Putin do not care,
where You my Lord, do control every heartbeat and breath
are of the things in the minds of all men constantly aware,

do put leaders in and do pull others at times out,
of the wicked things of man You personally know all about.

Kadyrov the Chechen, Yevgeny Prigozhin, Putin's Chef,
with their own private armies do together plot,
are in cahoots with Igor Girkin and Dimitry Medvedev,
do speak out against Aleksandr Lapin and they do to Putin matter a lot,

where they like gangsters act, his body was found in a Moscow river,
they are against Sergei Shoigu the Russian Minister of Defence,
while they think that their threats makes the world shiver,
where this war is very much at Russia's own expense,

but my God I call on You who still reign supreme
where normal people in Ukraine are being destroyed,
You do know every plot, plan and divisive scheme,
where Putin calls them Satanic but do You in reality avoid:

I beg You to act now for the innocent that he causes to die,
to notices all the tears of those that do without comfort cry.

[Poet's notes: The Russians are again using thermite explosives / phosphorous munitions on Ukrainian civilians.
USV indicates an unmanned surface vehicle / a sea or water drone.]
