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.

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
