Israel's Share

      “A people few in number”
       with an outsize burden to bear

       With Russia and Ukraine
       simply compare

       More killed there
       this century than anywhere

         ~ Does anyone care

The number of deaths and fatalities just breaks my heart. I didn't realize, though, that more people were killed in that 'conflict' than anywhere. Seems as if people's lives are spent satisfying politics. Doesn't make sense.

It's a horrible war! I pray for peace, but it looks like Putin is ready to go down with his ego -- Russia needs to put him in check, before it is too late.
