Rasputin ... Watch

Today’s word is “Rasputin” ... ra-spyoo-tin ... any person who exercises great but insidious influence. (Dictionary.com)

Watch
We need no more Rasputins,
Or speaking snakes in trees,
It’s difficult enough,
To remain upright and free.

It is quite exhausting,
To always be on guard,
But no one said our choices 
Would be any thing but hard.

On this side of Eden,
Our toil is guaranteed,
Yet with the cross in view,
We voyage with great speed.
