Oh, Kiyv

OH, KIYV We weep for you Soft tears Devoid of feeling As we complain Of higher prices Your people flee Their lives held In their arms Crying. ©3/10/2022

Beautiful, John. It should be seen in every household as we gripe and moan about prices that go up and Ukrain ~ "their lives held in their arms crying." Congratulations on your win!

Hello John ... and still the rest of the world talks but the fear of WW3 holds back any true action - thank you John - Lindsay

Sad, traumatic situation in their case, unnecessary situation in ours. Timely poem and statements, John. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through poetry with us. Have a great day! Bill
