The Dancer
At fifteen, he was a dancer with a slim body
and narrow hips, after school he walked to
the dance studio where he was welcome
and danced as long as he could
other boys bullied him and said he was
girlish, but the girls liked him because of him
the felt save
On and on he danced, the press wrote
about this talented boy, but the bullying
didn't stop to prove to them he was not a sissy
he, at eighteen, joined the Ukraine army
who could use a boy like him in a forward
position keeping an eye on the enemy
Bullets fly in the air 98% hit nothing much
but a bullet hits him in the neck
His parents received a medal their boy had
been a hero.
