Poem
Until recently many had never heard of this man's name But tragic circumstances have catapulted him to fame A lawyer and a comedian then in two thousand and eighteen He decided to become involved in the Ukraine's political scene. In two thousand and ninteen he won the presidency And vowed to maintain freedom and democracy Once in office he worked hard, giving it his best And wanted a good relationship with countries in the west. Alarm bells rang in Moscow and a decision was made Putin wanted the Ukraine back and decided to invade He thought it would be easy and over in a few days But didn't account for the Ukrainians, who didn't want the old ways. He called on his people to bear arms and to stand up and fight Thousands came forward to stand against Russia's military might They had once won freedom and wanted to keep it at any cost But Russian aggression then bombed cities with many lives lost. It has been a week now the Ukrainians are not giving in And sending a clear message to the aggressor Putin Who's responded with barbaric acts of total aggression And unleashed on civilians, weapons of mass destruction. President Zelensky has been offered the chance to get away But said " I'm fighting for my country and here I will stay" Whatever the outcome of this conflict he will stay until the end He's an honourable man and on one you can depend. The whole world is behind him and holds him in admiration He stands ready to fight and give his life for his proud nation To retain Ukraine's freedom he will do everything that he can And compared to the aggressor Putin he's ten times the man. Written 3rd March 2022
