Paying the Price

Today Russia has begun a war broiling in Putin’s sick fantasy Ukraine people gird themselves for bombs and deaths, many deaths Can the USA, NATO swoop in and stop the invasion? Maybe yes maybe no Humans can fly to the moon and aspire to travel to the stars but can’t figure out how to feed or stop killing each other maybe they don’t know how but it looks like they just don’t give a damn about people It will be written in the fate of mankind that mankind did not earn a second chance as killing of humans and animals continued appalling acts in the name of selfish egos of men Who have a rock of grizzle in their chest where a heart should be convincing themselves a bad idea conceived at night is good however the reality of an ill thought out plan in the chill of evening has a price The destruction brings forth a different realism that hurts women, children, the old and they pay the price but they, the people hating, war mongers don't care.
