The Mark Of Cain

Kurt Philip Behm

Death twisted history,

guilts conferee

the liar unmasked

revenge by decree

 

His legions unfurling,

their flag through the smoke

the volunteers hailing,

preserving all hope

 

With dark days upon them,

no fear to be found

the women, the children,

in place underground

 

Around every corner,

behind every door

their liberty sacred,

today—evermore

 

(Warsaw: March, 2022)

    Kurt,

    The title of your remarkable poem reminded me of a conversation I had with a former colleague of mine (who is Russian) about this war that’s going on . She feels that not only Putin but all Russians are cursed now because they should have stopped this ruthless dictator before now. She feels they’re all stained by this invasion. She says there’s no where to hide—they will have to bear this ‘mark’.
