A Russian Invasion

My thoughts do not stray.
Too far away
From the Russian war
My thinking isn't always correct,
I've mentioned this before,
I am an old lady
Wrinkled, aged and grey
Even though I'm ancient
I am still free to have my say
What are we talking about,
Ukraine's are not at war,
These people were satisfied
With how they lived before,
That was until President Putin
Putting his boot in.
And started to INVADE
Ukraine
He was on a private crusade
The like of which,
We never want to see again,
Putin does not know the score
The Russians may think they are at war,
But the World realises,
On this occasion,
It's a RUSSIAN INVASION.

Gershon Wolf Date: 3/14/2022 6:38:00 PM Absolutely 1,000% right. Putin's pretexts are Lies, Lies, Lies. He's the inheritor of Hitler's BIG LIE technique. Tell the lie enough and it becomes truth. Good for you, Shirley, and write on! ~ Faith Forever, Gershon Login to Reply Shirley Hawkins Date: 3/20/2022 1:13:00 AM Thank you, Gershon.

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 3/14/2022 12:07:00 PM Putin has found the perfect Eufimism: It is not a war but an invasion. It is like saying Hitler had visited all European countries! Excellent, dearest, Shirley! Login to Reply Shirley Hawkins Date: 3/20/2022 1:23:00 AM Thank you, Demetrios. There are no words to express the courage and tenacity that the Ukrainians have shown through all this horror. They have set an example of strength and unity for all to try to follow. It was lovely to hear from you. Take care. Shirley

L Milton Hankins Date: 3/14/2022 8:59:00 AM Absolutely, Shirley. The Ukrainians are victims of one man's brutal despotism and aggression. I can't understand why the world cannot rid itself of this wart on world body politic.
