Slava Ukraini !

How can I write a poem

about the murder of a nation,

it’s history, life, and culture,

when all I can do is watch,

grieving for brave Ukraine.

An ageing man’s conceit,

to inflict this dreadful war,

that must end in his own defeat.

While I cannot share your pain,

my heart shall ever be true to you;

that by your bravery the world

shall see you come through.

Have you been there? Both Ukraine and Russia seem such lovely lands nature-wise. Oh, that the whole world may see the folly of themselves slipping into such war, and the anguish. Rhiannon

Thanks for the cherry editors; and thanks for you comment Rhiannon. Regarding the war - the Russian attack on a democracy; I would say that it is just one man's folly, and we know who that is.
