Unbelievable’s happening;
Instead of building
Global perpetuity;
We’re besieged with mortality!
Is Putin being kind to History?
Even if he gains victory;
With environmental degradation;
Arising from wildlife extinction!
Unfathomable scale of ruination;
Resulting from destruction;
Of obliterated villages and cities;
By modernized savages!
All is now set;
For uninhabited planets;
Solid city walls;
Must take falls!
Thought human lives sacrosanct;
Not before unpleasant;
Imbecilic savages;
Who hell-bound to receive wages!
Resulting from ruinage;
Homeful becomes refugee;
With no hope;
Where to go!
We claim our new age;
Is now jet age;
World’s a global village;
Yet, submit we to raper!
Of all known vestige;
That make us evil;
If country’s free;
It’s people should breathe!
Air of freedom;
Not of fiefdom;
We need liberation;
Not destruction
Children are fatherless;
Wives, husbandless;
Fathers go to fight affliction;
Husbands to defend nation!
Unthoughtful aggressors;
Chose to unremember!
Beirut, Aleppo and Hiroshima!
Nagasaki, Berlin and Warsaw!
Dresden, Apamea and Valella!
Kabul, Sarajevo and Fleury-devant-Douaumont!
Poziere, Ripost and Tahure!
Regmieville, \flirey and Moussy-sur-Aisne!
Ailles, Cowlecom and others!
Those are trying to recover;
They cannot ever;
Forget;
Unnecessary mess;
Of vast rubbles;
Nor needless cemeteries!
Added now are:
Buka, Borodyanka and Irpin;
Dumbas, Mariupol and Kyiv;
Chernobyl, Skovorodynivka and others!
To get a people;
For their purpose fulfilled;
They’ll commit urbicide;
People might be committing suicide!
Rather than surrender to thugs;
They’ll lose all;
Where’s our humanity?
What’s happening to our sense of equity?
