The Invasion of UkraineOn the twenty fourth of February in twenty twenty two
Russia invaded Ukraine and fierce fighting did ensue
Vladimir Putin it seems, wants to restore the iron curtain
And sadly he will succeed, of that it looks certain.
Tanks and missiles, the Russians used in their attack
But against...

DON'T FORGET UKRAINE?
Between an unjust war or peace, which would you choose?
Ukraine had no choice so we must ensure they don't lose
Russian thugs invaded Ukraine to reinstate the Iron Curtain
And this is only the very beginning and of that I am certain.
I know it's a big...

Oh UkraineA sadness appears
on the face of a nation
as tears fall like rivers a’flow
Midst rubble and death
with dreams slowly shattered,
where blood coats the fields draped in snow
So gallant they stand
to the war machine charging,
a serpent of heartless desire
Their bravery shines
like the flames unrelenting,
their world inundated with...

Ukraine ChristmasSpare a thought this Christmas for those suffering in Ukraine
While you are enjoying the festive season Russia inflicts more pain
Huddled around makeshift fires with no where to escape the chill
The evil Russians fire missiles and drones that are designed to kill.
Russia hopes by taking...

Tears For the Children of UkraineOn a square in Ukraine in that war torn country
Over a hundred strollers are parked, but they're all empty
The children no longer need them because they're all sleeping
And those painful cries that you hear are their parents weeping.
Young innocent lives taken, who...

A Christmas Prayer For UkraineA Christmas Prayer for Ukraine
God for Christmas on Ukraine bestow hope
For those folk in dire need of hope to cope
Solace to console the soulful hearted
Doleful since the day Putin’s war started.
Many tears have been sorrowfully cried
For those wounded or no longer alive
Homes...

Ukraine~ A tyrant hides behind a vengeful vail
forever cloaking liberty in fear.
He stands aware that gains of war may pale
beneath the balance due to persevere.
He knows his prey may revel undeterred,
constrained between fidelity and death,
and freedom’s call, once chiseled into word,
could lend...

The Dream of a Free UkraineWe 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...

Blue Skies Over SunflowersIn eastern lands, where once did roam
The winds of peace, and fields of home
Now echoes sound of bombs and gun
As war in Ukraine, is far from done
The sky once blue, now turned to gray
With smoke and dust, that won't away
And children's laughter, now replaced
By cries...

Good FridayGood Friday
Nailed to the cross
you all say it was a good Friday
It was not for me
my blood mocked by soldiers
nor was it good for you
you haven't learned
in ten thousand seasons
there is no Lord
only things you do not know
you claim glory
a bankrupt human emotion
I told you...

The Piano PlayerInternal Quote by Albert Einstein
On the eve of the invasion, the world braced for an upheaval.
Two ancient foes were poised for war, a war between Good and Evil.
For things are deathly dark and unsavory when Satan's soldiers ride,
and only acts of heroic bravery...

The Light of Her FaceFor Ukraine
Until I see her face again,
A wonder seen by midnight light,
No beauty beheld like this before,
I am entranced by this sight.
Courage against all, this madness now,
Striving and clinging to live again,
Streaks across the darkened sky,
In light she sees destruction then.
Clear it now and then...
