Myrolvorets is a Ukraine website that publishes a running list of people considered to be enemies of Ukraine whose actions are crimes against National Security, peace, human security, and international law. The identity of staff is secret. The site has no official status but is used. It's slogan is "for the public" . It includes the personal data, email addresses, and other information of journalist, terrorists, and other people from all walks of life. There are thousands on this hit list in 2023, maybe even millions and that is very scary to think about. Another problem for the world is the gathering of weapons of mass destruction, be it nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or other types that are being created and housed in countries all over the world just so they are ready. I think it is appalling that there is no consideration to the slaughter of people nature, animals, and the suffering and the misery these would have on the world. Oh what if! Also, viewing and experiencing violence on television, or in movies, or in games has a desensitizing effect on people with a potential to develop aggression in viewers. The disturbing content of shooting guns, bombing, fighting, killing that some find enjoyable in time can cause nightmares, depression, bullying, fear, stress, anxiety and lack of empathy. Killing seems normal, bang, bang your dead. There is a lot to be afraid of in 2023 . . . ______________________ January 29, 2023 Poetry/Narrative/Hit List, Mass Destruction, and Violence Copyright Protected, ID 01-1521-999-29 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Hit List 2023 sponsor, Joe Maverick, Judged 02/11/2023 First Place

I'm happy to see you're covering this crucial issue, evidence for which can be found practically anywhere. Having a lot of money does not guarantee happiness and often causes stress and problems. It's as if we've come full circle, with more and more individuals opting to settle in gated communities with strict security measures in place.
