Poem
On the twenty fourth of February in twenty twenty two Russia invaded Ukraine and fierce fighting did ensue Vladimir Putin it seems, wants to restore the iron curtain And sadly he will succeed, of that it looks certain. Tanks and missiles, the Russians used in their attack But against Putins thugs, brave Ukrainians are fighting back Vladimir Putin is unhinged and he Is losing his sanity Claiming the Ukraine is a threat, to Russian security. He's made threats to the west, if they come to Ukraines aid Does he honestly think that western powers are afraid Unfortunately the Ukraine is not part of the Nato alliance So the west introduced, heavy sanctions in defiance. Hitting Russia with severe sanctions seems like a good idea But it failed to stop Russian aggression, when they invaded Crimea A lot more needs to be done though before it's too late Or the Ukrainian people will suffer, an unspeakable fate. The Ukrainian president has sent out a rallying cry Ukrainians are bearing arms, and are prepared to die The death toll will rise with casualties on either side People are running to find safety but there's no where to hide. Putin claimed only military targets, would be in the line of fire But civilian apartments have been hit, Putin is a liar There has been many deaths, some badly injured too But they will fight to the last man, it's what they will do. Acts of bravery the Ukrainians will always remember Like the guards on Snake Island who refused to surrender The Russian warship fired missiles, all thirteen men died To me that is a war crime; those responsible should be tried. The old days are over, the Soviet Union is long dead Why can't Vladimir Putin get that fact in his head Invading peaceful countries is an abominable crime He should be charged with murder and put away for a long time. Written 25th February 2022
