PEACE for UKRAINE, PRAY

 


Politics aside. I can NOT stay silent.
Ukraine is in my thoughts and prayers.
President Zelensky is a man of honor.
The images coming out of this beleaguered 
country are heartbreaking.
A family trying to escape the chaos, 
brutally murdered.
The newborn babies who may never live another day. 
The young children clutching stuffed animals, 
terror in their eyes... 
not understanding what is happening 
all around them. 
The heartsick mothers trying to get to safety. 
The brave fathers staying behind 
to stave off the death and destruction.
A country under seige by a 
maniacal lunatic and his ethnic cleansing. 
His finger on a nuclear button that could 
annihilate us all.
Those offering a bounty on Putin's head, 
need to up the ante.
He is a WAR criminal, an evil monster. 
The likes of which hasn't 
been seen in decades. 
He is committing atrocities 
beyond the pale. He needs to be stopped. 
 I do not know what the future holds for all of us...
in Ukraine and around the globe. 
But, I well remember hiding 
under my school desk as a youngster-
being told if I didn't, we would die.
And now all these years later, here we are again...
because of ONE narcacistic man, living in his brain,
in a reality he created, 
fanning the flames of hate, 
keeping his country in the dark
as he pummels another country without cause. 
Ukraine is standing up against this tyrant... 
Showing all of us Democracy is worth fighting for. 

Слава Україні! Героям слава! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
