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.
