Let Us Stand Up

An outright defeat in Ukraine
May spell doom for Russian reign
It means more than political gain
We refuse to let hatred sustain

Fear the indifferent, for they allow
The worst atrocities to happen right now
We cannot turn a blind eye
To the suffering of those who cry

Let us stand up for what we believe
And do our part to ensure that we achieve
A world where justice and peace prevail
And where every human life can truly avail.
