Les Miserable

I have such a miserable face, Grimacing and frowning, a disgrace, I am a disgrace to the human race Who suffers by looking at this sad face. Why do I always wear a frown? What right have I to feel so down, I am as fortunate as can be, Living in a free country. There are countries, far and wide, Where they sadly have to hide, The sorrow and the grief they feel So they try hard to conceal, And not to reveal The anguish and fear inside When all that they loved had died And all have to count the cost Of the peace and happiness lost, Because of one man's greed Who was so sure he would succeed, In his worthless game of war, Causing destruction, what for? For the love of power and might Is this a valid reason to fight? If you think this is so It's time PP for you to go, Face up and be brave Think of all the lives you'll save Surrender and lay down your arms I hear the sound of the alarm, Bells ringing loud and clear, Those heroic Ukrainians are getting near. These stoic soldiers did not want war. They want their country back, The way it was before PP, are you feeling lost. Now you will have to count the cost. Instead of finding fame All in history will know your name, For the evil character, you are Your infamy won't take you far.

What is truly sad is the 17,000+ civilian sites destroyed by Russians whilst the rest of the world pointed their fingers saying, "Shame on Putin" whereas, like your frown, a reversal is needed! Aloha!
