It’s the third week of the invasion
The greatest land war in Europe in a generation
Russian armaments light up the Ukrainian horizon
Enough to see the shelters more people will die in
A street with burning strollers
A bridge with dying soldiers
The horror of it all is seen around the world
So those with a conscious are disturbed
Ukrainians cry out remember history
Where this will end is no mystery
They say they are part of the European family
Europe responds “so is Russia” rationally
Politicians everywhere hem and haw
While the only thing moving is the jaw
Ukraine is burning, a people are devastated
While full lies and half promises are disseminated
The honest are not surprised
We remember how the War in Iraq was devised
We see how the genocide in China is excused
How readily lies and fears are infused
What’s happening around the world is unjust
Its motivators, money and power corrupt
Tomorrow another war and more small graves
Today the sky above Kiev are in flames
