Heroes In Ukraine

Heroes in Ukraine
    No heat, no power
  endure aerial bombardment
    More brutal by the day

  Hundreds of Russian conscripts
    thrown into battle every day
  Unprepared, they die like flies
    As if Vladimir Putin cares

  While informed Americans stuff down turkey
    watching sacred football games
  Taking stock of their carbon emissions
    So Donald Trump they can blame

Ann Peck Date: 11/28/2022 3:30:00 PM Yes, we go about our business with a terrible war, protests in Iran, China, and Russia, people starving--real life has become almost too hard to bear. Thank you for reminding us to think of others. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/29/2022 8:11:00 PM 'Real life' too much taken up with death these days, I'm afraid. ~ gw

Kim Rodrigues Date: 11/28/2022 7:09:00 AM What the country was! What the little little man wants to have… and why in the world many people have a trump obsession. The mouth runs with hate. Prayers that love will be stoked in the heart…the mouth filled with merry and nice. God bless you, Gershon! Login to Reply

Anselmo Boles Date: 11/27/2022 5:50:00 PM The Ukrainians are so brave and honorable, fighting for their land! Putin might as well be called Killer Rasputin, but hey, he'll soon be stiff as a board and gone... while the balding, biggest liar, cheap bastard Trump, heck; he's got two giant triple cheeseburgers and a bucket of fries in one hand! The Corrupt Greedy Freddies!!...ab Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/27/2022 6:47:00 PM I am happy to read your optimism that Putin will soon be gone. Myself, I think that a cat has nine lives. We'll see what happens. ~ gw

Tom Cunningham Date: 11/27/2022 5:16:00 PM It's about time there was another Russian revolution and that dog kicked out of power. Why is he allowed to get away with war crimes against humanity??????? I salute the bravery of the Ukrainian people standing up to that physchopath.

Thanks, Tom
