Rasputin
Grigori Rasputin was a Russian mystic from a long time ago Coming from the Russian Orthodox Christian Church He was known as the mad monk or a wandering pilgrim For in his belief, that's the truth about him the people did know He travelled through Russia curing the sick wherever he would go In 1904 he travelled to Saint Petersburg as a loner He captivated religious and social leaders around the city as he would go Nicholas 11 and empress Alexandra invited him to an audience To their delight as a humble monk, he did show And over weeks their trust in his ability to cure the ill did grow In a short time, he became a faith healer to Nicholas and Alexandra's only son He suffered from Haemophilia which was an illness that seriously affected his blood Knowing that he had enemies calling him a charlatan with the healings he carried on Prince Felix and a group of nobles, to kill Rasputin conducted a devilish plan They laced the food with cyanide that he eat but to their amazement, he did not die They then shot him at close range with a revolver to his bemusement he said why They drove him to the Petrovsky Bridge and discarded him into the river Malaya Nevka Maybe God's will is the reason it took so much to make him die?
