How many precious, innocent bodies have to die
Unjust war; making of life and light, a charade, sham, and lie
While the unlit, pitch-dark nights of the soul, mock yesteryear's lullabies.
**
Hurry! make haste to the buses and trains
Flee! ride away from the fearful sights and bloodstains
Loved one's, past lives, and creature comforts, left behind; forcibly jettisoned
Take heed! life is fickle, capricious; tis a cruel, harsh, unwelcome lesson.
**
Putin: You threaten, menace, the world with the nuclear button
Of a truth, evidence thou art through and through; loathsome, rotten
Humanity abides, side by side, with a besieged, brave, sovereign Ukraine
FREE UKRAYINA! Our justified, strong and ceaseless; universal refrain.
