One Man

One Man One man, a man crazed with greed Conscripts and commands thousands of others Under the pretext of protecting their homeland To attack and kill their Ukrainian brothers. One man, reputed to be charismatic Hypnotized and bullied his German nation With the delusion of their superior race - That eliminating the Jews was their salvation. One man, whose words and ways were uplifting Urged us, when insulted, to turn the other cheek Telling us to love our neighbor as our self Saying the inner Kingdom is what we should seek. Now all men, one man at a time, Must stand up and declare their choice - By what dynamic should our world be ruled? May good will and cooperation be the prevailing voice. Molly Moore

If the realization that other beating hearts, lives, love, peace cannot be embraced by each one....and it obviously hasn't been, it makes me puzzle if these madmen are people or simply the embodiment of the devil himself. If only your poem would come true, but you know what? It will, someday. True Peace will rule when He that said 'Turn the other cheek" rules <3 Deep thoughts in your amazing write Molly <3 Pleased to meet you! ~BJ

Well thought and written! But with friends like the USA, there isn't much hope for the Ukraine!
