From the motherland

On blood drenched steppes of Ukraine land
proud warriors of their country stand.
As into hell they throw their lives,
leaving behind wrecked homes and wives.
They rise as one to push the beast
of Putins dream of hate released.
Behind them peaceful country lies,
ahead another young life dies.
With steadfast will and heads held proud
young men not fearing shout aloud,
Slava Ukraine.

Not only men and boys who die,
But female bodies also lie.
Those in motherhood have gone,
left orphaned children when its done.

It is a shame that the powers who create wars rarely get in the front lines and fight. If they were to sacrifice themselves and their children as soldiers, the world would no longer have wars. A solid, raw poem, my dear friend. Alas, we can only do our parts in this world. Even if it means speaking loudly in public areas and arenas about war atrocities. Bless you.
