Poem
Down in the south east of Ukraine they call the Donbas region Is where the Russians were kept at bay by the Azoz battalion For three long months in Mariupol, they put up one hell of a fight Against air raids, constant bombardment and military might. Many were severely injured in battle, but they never gave in In an act of sheer defiance to the Russian's and Vladimar Putin It's stalled Russian advance, in their so called special operation And to war criminal Vladimar Putin, it caused much frustration His murdering scum army were much needed elsewhere But strong Ukrainian resistance were keeping them there The Ukrainian high command knew they wouldn't survive President Zelensky was heard to say "we need heroes alive". Orders were given for them to stand down, so they surrendered The siege will live on in folklore, and will always be remembered The Russian military has now taken the soldiers, to a prison colony Where they'll be charged with terrorism and never be set free. Russians from the steelworks siege, are now being sent to the front Trying to cut off Ukrainians in the east, who are bearing the brunt The west must now go all out to deliver the weapons they need To help push back the aggressors and make sure they succeed. Their heroic stand bought time for Ukraine, to replenish supplies Like heavy weapons from the west that caught Russia by surprise Russia's only real advantage, is the sheer volume of personnel So small groups of brave Ukrainian guerrillas, are giving them hell. Hit and run raids by special forces are being carried out with success Zelensky has nothing but praise for his soldiers, in his nightly address Land seized by Russia will never have peace, the Ukrainians have said To concede land to the brutal invaders, would be an insult to the dead. Ukraine wants to send soldiers bodies back to their families Russia has refused them, because the truth, the people would see And Vladimir Putin doesn't want his people to see him as a liar So he's quite happy to ignore it as his death toll grows higher. written on 26th may 2022
