Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

A Ukranian Mother Pleads

Women and children underground with
no food to eat!
Oh, no! Another bomb going off, and
With nothing refreshing and nutritious
to drink. 

Trying to cover my daughters' ears with
her checkered, red and white gloves!
So many nations afraid to help the Ukraine, 
as our cries for weapons, reach the heavens 
in the Spring, gentle rain!


Why should they care, so selfish, they, just so
cruelly say, "Tough!"
The thunder is not as loud as the bombs,and 
yet, we hunger, fret, and pray!
Here on bare soil,this Spring-soaked night in 
the Ukrainian rain!

Elena Eagle April 22, 2022 at 12:32 PM The people of Ukraine are experiencing horrors we cannot imagine. This is a moving piece to say the least. Thank you for writing this poem. Panagiota Romios April 22, 2022 at 6:27 PM You are right, Elena! We cannot imagine it. Being born, here, Americans Cannot relate to that level of cruelty. Sure, people get killed by crazies here. But it’s not an international scheme. Thank you! Pangie

Tom Cunningham April 22, 2022 at 12:15 PM Can't imagine the horrors those poor people are going through, having to hide in basements with corpses and badly injured people. The west needs to man up in my opinion Tom Panagiota Romios April 22, 2022 at 6:20 PM Tom, I can’t either. I think all nations are missing hearts and do not give a hoot! I explained to you, in an email....the military equipment is there for Zelensky. But he does not know where! Nations make money off a war. So, it’s to their benefit to let Ukrainians die like dogs in the street. There is no intention to end this.massacre. The leaders talk big, and blame Putin. But THEY are not innocent nations. Russia and China are buddies. China is killing its own right now. Covid scares. And murdering dogs, also. Starving thee it own?? Pangie
