Rasputin - Ρασπούτιν Poem by Kostas Lagos
Rasputin - Ρασπούτιν
Out of siberian frost
came a man in cassock
A pilgrim of mystery
to shake an empire
A demon cloaked
in human shape
No weapon or venom
could take his life away
Who was he really
what powers did he hold
Mystic, salacious, conspirator
A shadow born of darkness
or just a madman?
Από τον σιβηρικό παγετό
ήρθε φορώντας ράσο
Προσκυνητής στο μυστήριο
τράνταξε μια αυτοκρατορία
Ένας δαίμονας κρυμμένος
σε μορφή ανθρώπου
Ούτε όπλο ούτε φαρμάκι
μπορούσε τη ζωή να του αφαιρέσει
Ποιος ήταν πραγματικά
τι δυνάμεις να κατείχε
Μυστικιστής, ακόλαστος, συνωμότης
Μια σκιά απ'το σκοτάδι γεννημένη
ή μήπως απλά ένας τρελός;
An unequivocal and magnificently explicit, very powerful and chilling picture of a monster. Impeccably written and impossible to forget. Descriptive writing at its best!
Rasputin- A demon cloaked in human shape No weapon or venom ............ A shadow born of darkness or just a madman? /// it this political poem or mystical? I don't know really// but interesting
I have read about Rasputin. Some persons have extra sensory powers. Those who are aware of their own such powers utilize them to make or mar their life. Rasputin was certainly an extra ordinary person. You have built at nice imagery on him in this poem. Good poem piece 10+
Rasputin was primarily hated because of his influence over the tsar and his wife, because the czar's wife believed he was the only one who could treat her sons medical condition. Plus it is said he smelled like a goat which I am sure did not add to his popularity. Your words capture Rasputin at his engnimatic best.
Actions! ! ! Acts of our lives on earth; Mankind on earth! Reactions seen everywhere. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
