Poem
Now you’re turning to the south To save your battered face, To claim some sort of victory By flattening the place. If soldiers cannot win your war You’ll bomb and you will shell: Blow everything to smithereens, Turn towns to living hell. Your army isn’t up to much: Fighting’s too much trouble. Instead, you bomb the place to bits, Reduce Ukraine to rubble. There is no place of safety: No shelter can survive. You bomb the schools and hospitals; You bury them alive. You keep civilians bottled up, Deprived of heat and water, And when you say you’ll let them out You lead them to the slaughter. You say you’ll let the buses leave (At least, that’s what you tell them); You wait until they’re moving out And then you start to shell them. Now you’re using cluster bombs With fuses that delay. You aim to kill civilians; You think that’s all okay. Your brain is wired up differently, The Devil rules your mind. You are an aberration: The worst of humankind. You’ve overstepped the mark and put Yourselves beyond the pale; And we’ll have lost our self-respect Unless we make you fail. Diplomacy, diplomacy, Diplomacy is dead. The only language Russia speaks Is bullets in the head. We can’t believe a word you say, You are inveterate liars And you are making Russia A nation of pariahs. Do not feed the crocodile, Appeasers please take note; Although we may be last of all, He’ll have us by the throat. When this war is over And when Ukraine has won, We all must hold you to account For all the damage done. You must pay reparations, Just as at Versailles; You must not wriggle out of it No matter how you try. You must be made to pay the price, The senseless, futile cost Of murderous destruction And all the people lost. Your leaders must stand in the dock And all the ranks behind: You must be made examples of The worst of humankind. There is no longer Fog of War: Your crimes are all recorded And catalogued for all to see. Your sins will be rewarded. What’s happening now must never fail To prompt us and remind Us just how vile and evil are The worst of humankind.
