Listen To the World, Mister Putin
Peace-loving peoples of the world are demanding of you, Mister Putin,
That you cease at once this murderous and needless shootin'!
Why can't you and others of your ilk leave other people alone?
Don't you have a soul? Don't you care about the misery you have sown?
How can you justify the indiscriminate massacre of a nation's population,
Destroying families and the infrastructure of a peace-loving nation?
Have you not seen the horror on a mother's face as she cuddles her little one,
Being separated from her husband left to fight a war that only you've begun?
Think of the grief among your nation's mothers' having lost a son,
That you conscripted to use as fodder in the cruel war you've begun!
We pray that with unwavering resolve that the valiant patriots of Ukraine,
Will prevail and that soon, their peace and freedom they will regain!
Peace-loving peoples of the world are demanding of you, Mister Putin,
That you cease at once this murderous and needless shootin"!
