Ukraine 2022

In the late winter of this year,
In the time of looking ahead to spring,
The Olympics were held and the people watched,
the youth of the world come together
And unite, excel and represent the best of their countries.
The leader waited until they were over,
As customary, a pact made by men,
Since ancient times,
Not to wage war when such goodness was
going on.
So the tanks waited
To roll slowly toward the land they would
Invade
And give the people the chance to
Realize their lives as they knew them
were over, and give up quietly.
Little did he know,
They didn’t, wouldn’t, won’t give up.
For their hearts have a beauty, love
And strength in them
That he will never understand
Or conquer.
