1 Day To Ukraine Russia Came
Though I have moved back and forth
so many times throughout my life
I have forgotten half of all the
many lines i have crossed
And the countless relationships and
friends which I have lost in between to
my own cost
So much so, so many things are barely
dreams without a frame to be seen
though they still remain
In the many space's in my mind that
i have left saved tinged with regret
I just can't let go
Only the faces of the people seemed
to have changed and aged as have I
as time flew bye
Like some of the many places where
I grew up now bring a tear to my eye
when I pass bye
So much so i prefer to take another route
as there is hardly anything left worth revisiting
My memories and childhood home
progress has stole and nothing can replace
the hole that it has left
The old playground and pub where we
met the alley's down which we used to
dart and make our getaway
School and cinema the hospital where
I was born and mother worked the
heavy industry factories that spewed
out latent smoke
The tram line's leading to the underground
with several stop's along it's way has seen
it's day
It's only stand's today as a crumbling monument
in testament to the end of the line a bygone time
It is all so sad and all for what will it or can
it even be explained
Why this was once a thriving living city
in the Ukraine that one day Russian
Armies came and leveled to the ground
This simple fact cannot be changed
though crumbled building can be rebuilt
The oh so many pointless lives and loved
ones lost cannot be brought back
What's done is done it's set in stone
Pile on high the rubble bury the bodies
turn this travesty info a morbid tomb
And curse the God's of War into an
eternal damnation pit and all who
trade and profit from it
For death the only spoil should they be
deemed worthy to inherit and made to pay
Never lest to rest nor forget
