Putin’s crocodile tears with a gift for Ukraine.

Posted on by Opher

The chances are that he planned the whole thing! I wouldn’t put it past him.

So how many Russians have to die?

There’s a bit of irony here, isn’t there? They have a national days of mourning for 139 victims of ISIS terrorism yet there is no mention of the 315,000 Ukraine War casualties! Where is their day of mourning or are they conveniently brushed under Putin’s red carpet?

Putin conveniently shifts the blame from ISIS to Ukraine. There’s no end to his scheming. It’s all so blatant. Are the Russian people really so easily duped?

A return to the senseless attrition and destruction of the First World War! Pound away with artillery, send in waves of cannon fodder, destroy everything in sight. It’s utterly mindlessly barbaric.

Putin’s only got one way of operating. We’ve seen it in Chechnia, Syria and now Ukraine. It’s like it’s two hundred years ago! So primitive!

Poetry – Body Bags

Posted on by Opher

Body Bags

They don’t look so tough in body bags,

                Chucked carelessly in mass graves,

                                Blown to smithereens

In splatters.

Reality is a far cry

                From the bravado and boasts

                                Posing with guns

                                                In arrogant scenes

                                                                Now in tatters.

Bravery and strength

                Do not repel bullets.

                                Where a shell lands

                                                Is down to luck.

Anyone can stand tall

                Pretend to be so macho

                                Aggressive talk and body pumps

Missiles don’t give a fuck.

All those young men signing up to go off and fight, so cocksure, but there’s nothing cool about fighting. The body bags are waiting. The missiles don’t care how tough you are. The mines will blow off your legs.

The world should have got past all that barbaric, primitive violence and stupidity. War is distilled terror and horror. Soldiers are pawns – nothing more!

Bravery is a farce. Neanderthal men are an embarrassment.

This is 2022. Wars are never won.

Poetry – Defending the homeland

Defending the homeland

Defending the homeland

                Against the Russian foes.

Barbaric practice

                As all morality goes.

Fighting to the death,

                Arena of horror.

Giving up on life.

                No hope for tomorrow.

War is madness.

                Can be no excuse.

Protest all we want.

                But it’s no use.

The elite call the tune.

                Gain from the violence.

Drunk on greed and power

                Profits are immense.

These elite tyrants

                Pull all the strings.

We live in the shadow.

                The crop that madness brings.

Opher – 18.4.2022

I despise nationalism and patriotism – the territory of scoundrels.

I despise the propaganda and spin that stops people from thinking.

Defending the homeland? I have some reticence. But if it came to standing up for freedom and justice, fairness and democracy, I think I would be prepared to defend.

War is run by a greedy elite for profit. That is all.

We tolerate that greedy elite. We put them them. We vote for them. We are taken in by their propaganda.

They are nothing but greedy tyrants. History is littered with them.

Time we changed. They are only as powerful as we allow them to be.

War is a tool of the elite. Time we banned it!

How many of us are surplus to requirements? Factory fodder, cannon fodder and assembly line babies. No longer needed.
