Faith Outlawed Political Oppression Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

enduring political oppression
without resurrection fibre faith
this then was thorny problem
splinter within pastoral Russian

psyche splinter within rustic mind
an issue not with vodka drunk blind
but appeasement flooded loss of faith
drowned as testament escapism time

that was the point under Communism
during war devastating invasion Nazism
vodka seemed to be fluid Russian soul
without faith cry liquid vodka tears
