Ukrainian Spring

We watch from afar. We wring our hands seeing the treachery of our governments who do nothing, as if it is 1941 again. UKRAINIAN SPRING yellow sun blue sky burning sulfur and flint ash corpses springing up 4/7/2022

Very powerful, dearest Kim. We must stand up to the invaders who kill, rape, and destroy Ukraine and its people! Blessings!

Yes. Write it loud and louder. WE DO NOTHING. WAIT TIL THEY BOMB US. DO WE NEED ANOTHER PEARL HARBOR? ANOTHER 9/11 to reality-check our 'Woke, Morally Bankrupt, Non-Democratic Democrat Administration?!! Go after 'em, Kim! Don't let up. I won't either... How about Obama's little revision of history today on how tough he was on Russia? Mr. Abominable, a feckless chicken if ever there was! So tired of America's newfound cowardice. What happened to this once-brave country?!!!! Write on, Kim! :) gw

Thank you! It is horrifying that we did not act toughly at the beginning. This administration seems to be playing the devil. How can we just look on at this travesty!? Makes us sick…

Kim, a sad poem. "Corpses springing up" is not my kind of spring. Well penned. Blessings ~ Debra

It shouldn’t be anyone’s kind of Spring! God help them!

Instead of planting wheat and corn, they are planting corpses. Who calls that life? Aloha!

So awful to be a witness to this travesty! Putin has no shame. He shows himself to be truly evil, up front!

We watched it from a distance back then until the conflict touched us. You say it well Kim--it is devastating to watch the destruction and bodies on the street.

It is so hard! We have friends who adopted three orphans a couple years ago. Three saved from this terrible atrocity…tears.
