The Annihilation of Ukrainians
THE ANNIHILATION OF UKRAINIANS
Kyrie was struggling to overcome barriers of demarcation.
“Holodomor” she was facing.
This artificial famine was brutally taking Ukrainians lives.
In nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, the manifestation of human hate crimes would be a terrorist regime.
The screens Kyrie would experience would became life threatening.
“Death by hungry” was in all eyes.
Eighty years has passed.
Soviet Joseph Stalin’s massacre transpired.
From nineteen hundred and thirty-two thru nineteen hundred and thirty-three the Soviet regime took seven million lives.
Kyrie and her brother. Allah. was blessed to survive.
The story is her father died early on.
Her mother walked far to find food.
She would exchange her earnings and a gold pendant she wore on her dress just for a sack of flour and nothing else.
She formed the flour into a loaf of bread, which tasted liked grass.
Tears forms knowing this was all her and her children had.
Wretchedness it is to know that too many peopled did not have anything
at all to eat.
To genocide was an atrocity.
A silent wasteland of God’s people must be exposed.
Ukrainians today discloses.
