Notes About The Poem

" GOD SAVE UKRAINE " 

Ukraine

The hyenas of war are unleashed 

The carcass of freedom to devour

The entire world is holding its breath
 
As in awe watches Ukraine's last hour! *

James Horn February 26, 2022 at 2:21 PM Putin must have missing brain When it comes to the Ukraine; Not only has he been a priss Like snake does make a hiss. We must consider the source; Had ridden topless on his horse; While he said he is so slick Is enough to make us sick

James Horn February 26, 2022 at 2:09 PM I am wondering why God would let this happen. I also wrote a poem about it. Now the island will be a practice bombing range now. Demetrios Trifiatis February 26, 2022 at 2:31 PM God has given His commandments and they are crystal clear. If we disobey them is not His problem but ours! Good luck with your poem.
