Let Peace Return

A proud country trying to break away From the old legacy of the mighty Union And build a modern free nation Is invaded uninstigated by the powerful neighbor. In the senseless Russo-Ukraine conflict The military strengths are unequal So, Russia planned and thought complacent It will overrun the country in no time. But this has not happened yet For the resolute and patriotic Ukrainians Have given a strong resistance For the advance of the Russian army. The conflict stemming from geopolitics For the imposition of illogical tutelage Has caused innocent civilians undeserving agony Homeless millions flee, parents see children die. Ominous gunpowder smoke billows in the air All the birds have disappeared from Kyiv’s sky World hopes they will fly back with good times Sense will prevail in the crazy mind, peace will return. _____________________ March 18, 2022 Contest : Kyiv Sponsored by : Kai Michael Neumann
