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! 4/22/2022

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

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

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
