Notes About The Poem

Brothers In Arms

standing firm with the shoulders of giants ~ Klitschko bro’s remain defiant



World heavyweight champions Wladimir and Vitali klitschko
remain in Kyiv to fight the Russian invaders, they could have 
left and lived like kings anywhere in the world, as they share
great wealth, from their boxing careers 

Both these giants stand about 6ft7” tall, 
Putin has apparently put bounties on their heads
and are major targets for the Russian army 

  “Be emboldened every day”

Lovely tribute to two very brave men David, true patriots for their country. I never thought that they'd be able to hold out for so long, Taking the capital won't be an easy thing to do. Tom

Thanks Tom, the Ukrainians are tough as nails, Putin totally underestimated their resolve, and with the Klitschko brothers and many others like them staying behind, it will embolden the nation to keep fighting, cheers David
