The Godfather Complex Poem by Richard Wlodarski

The Godfather Complex

Rating: 5.0


Sinful damn evil Putin
Are you experiencin'
The Godfather Complex:
Committin' the sin
Being forgiven
After confessin'

Like the mafia
And the drug cartels
Do you honestly believe
Your sins will be forgiven
After doing your damndest
To wipe out the innocence?

Maybe the priests who raped children
Will absolve you of genocide
And maybe neither of you
Will suffer fires of Hell

But have you forgotten
About purgatory?
There you will vividly see
The evil you committed
Stay there for eternity?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
As a Roman Catholic, I am greatly pained by the hypocrisy of my religion. Although Putin is not Catholic, his religion is quite similar.

Soren, I wasn't one of those children. But this issue is of grave concern to me! Thank you for believing my poem to be well written.
