Poem
A year ago, the Russian state launched an unprovoked attack Seizing land from Ukraine but they've bravely fighting back If Russia can't have it, they operate a policy of scorched earth And turn many towns and villages into mounds of rubble and dirt. Russia then weaponised their gas and shipments of grain And tried to inflict on the civilian people unbearable pain His criminal army targets hospitals, schools, homes and utilities He thought the Ukrainians would surrender, rather than freeze. He tells the Russian people lies and many believe every word And he tells them he's protecting Russia ;I find that absurd We've seen evidence of his atrocities against women and men And it's heart-breaking to see pictures of murdered children. Ukraine was never a bold threat to that rogue terrorist state Putin thought the west would leave the Ukrainians to their fate How wrong was he to think the western world would look away They're helping Ukraine defend itself and NATO leads the way. Russia's ancient equipment and army are no match for the west And to help Ukraine defend itself it is supplying weapon's the best The Russian dead pile up on battlefields but Putin doesn't care And hides away in the safety and comfort of his underground lair. Wagner mercenaries recruited from jails to increase Russian might Told their sentences will be lengthened if they don't go and fight The dregs of Russian humanity are now sent to the eastern front Together with inexperienced conscripts who now bear the brunt. Russia is asking for weapons from North Korea, China and Iran If China supplies them weapon's then their trade we should ban People say Ukraine should concede land so that the war will end But Russia has shown its evil dark side and will never be a friend. Putin keeps threatening to use weapons of mass destruction And has now backed out of treaties and increased production Does he honestly think that the western world will stand by If he launches just one, then you can be sure the west will reply. Vladimar Putin started this war and there is no one else to blame He is a disgrace to humanity and should hang his head in shame Decent Russians and there are many should topple him for his crime And his war criminal army arrested and either hung or serve time. Slava Ukraini. Written 22 February 2023
