The Dream of a Free Ukraine

We look into your eyes. They look back so human-ly! You treat us like the child that had to grow up quickly. You stand behind your lines and watch us suffer and suffer badly. You play your sympathetic smiles but leave to face the wild all lonely. The lessons you have learned, the lives that cost you. You see a dictator turn his warring hands and you stand by politely. You will watch us suffer and lose our country. You will watch us burn and lose our humanity. Our democracy is the price you’ll pay for our sanctuary. You’ll let him steal our dreams because of money. If this is humanity, f#ck your humanity.

I know someone who adopted 3 orphans and were set to get a 4th. They can’t reach the orphanage and are afraid for the children. Just awful. My great-grandparents were Ukrainian.

It is always about the money followed by power and fame. ((Sad face))

Hi Kim, I’m just glad that my late relatives who were WW2 veterans are not alive to see this. They would have literally died with shame. Stay safe.
