Alexei Novalny (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Nivalny, leader of the Russian opposition
who had been poisoned by Putin,
who had exposed him in admonition,
in Russia has been jailed for this sin,

on bogus charges in Pogrov in Ik-2
is secretly by Russia being held,
while to his conscience he remains true,
while Putin is to injustice compelled,

and a prison in a prison at Melohovo
in a very strict regime colony
Putin wants Alexei Novalny to go,
to locked, never again to be free,

but God does witness every little thing,
does freedom even in a prison bring.
