Hush
Artillery shells explode outside my door,
hush, get on the floor.
Soldiers are murdering people on my street,
hush till they retreat.
Traumatized children are forbidden to cry,
hush, or we will die.
Russia turned Ukraine into a killing zone,
hush, we're all alone.
Artillery shells explode outside my door
as they've done before;
hush, we are at war.
