Independence
To Ukraine
~Arise in arms from ‘neath oppression’s boot,
confront the face of arbitrary whim.
Resist as one to quell the scarlet brute
and neutralize the threat of florid prim.
Let tyranny ingest the bellowed rage
of cannon flash o’er ev’ry hill and dale,
let revolution step upon the stage
as cries for independence ever swell.
Let nay a man be manacled to thrall
imposed by whomsoever claims the right,
such tyranny shall spark the battle call
and all subjected, rally to the fight.
Dissension’s ire has risen from the strife
to wield the whetted blade of freedom’s knife.
