Ukraine, Ukraine
I feel your desperate pain
Your incredulous fear
To absurdly lose
All that you hold dear
Betrayed by ruse
Of brother become foe
Subdued in full view
By the poison of a few
Now senselessly sowing
Sallow seeds of woe
Wolves in sheep\'s clothing
Casting a grotesque shadow
Of futile death and loathing
Mercilessly destroying dignity
With toxic masculinity
Forcing virulent fight
Or uneasy flight
Brutally ripping lives apart
Erasing history
from a severed heart
Yet no running from fears
As you walk alone
With bitter tears
To face the unknown
On this treacherous tightrope
Balancing twisted truths
And powerless hope
Under a hail of bombs
That darken your skies
Clouded by a pernicious veil
Of inordinate lies
So may the bear forever regret
And pray you may ever
Forgive or forget
