Back in the USSR
June 21, 2025 For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina The old iron curtain came down But soon a clown reclaimed the crown Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose Now a foul Soviet wind blows From the east it battered Ukraine Spreading such cruel and endless pain The past returns in blackened char “Back in the U.S.S.R.” ...

A VILLAGE ROAD SHOW
Picture a dusty village road Where two stubborn goats One older full of pride Another younger and very agile Face each other on a narrow bridge Neither want to back down They lock horns in front of the whole village Each claiming the right of way On the edges, villager elders watched on Placing bets on who fights better Turning merchants for their...

Whose side are you on, Mr President
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is redirecting anti-drone equipment earmarked for Ukraine to its own troops based in the Middle East. The decision comes as Russia has intensified its drone attacks in recent months, targeting cities across Ukraine. President Trump said “Ukraine has no cards to play to end war with Russia” A friend in need...

The Art of War
Hit them where it hurts President Trump said “Ukraine has no cards to play to end war with Russia”. Yet deep inside Russia, Ukraine masterfully destroys over 40 warplanes that could carry nuclear weapons, using smuggled drones; simultaneously attacks multiple air fields. Russia loses an estimated $7,000,000,000 dollars in one day. This is the one for...

I’m a Drone, Angel of Death
Revenge is mine (Inspired by the war in Ukraine) My homeland is ablaze below I’m watching from above Invading wolf packs steal the show It’s death I’m speaking of They fill the space in endless stream No end to foreign horde One cannot wake from ugly dream Of blood and gore, oh, Lord I am a drone, men put me forth The shield of the oppressed Avenging...

Right This Wrong
God, I have a prayer for you today. It’s just from me, but please hear what I have to say. Millions are being abandoned, starved and soon alone, where some in Ukraine are still free to roam. Children are becoming hungry, helpless and alone. Give them bravery, messengers of God, imaginary staffs and protective rods. (Psalm 23) Our leader’s horrible disdain...

Premium Member The War must end - Ukraine and Russia
When is enough enough, When is the going just too tough. Why do people have to die Forever in the ground to lie. Are the spoils worth all the pain When the path is kill and maim. Is barren land worth just so much Now deprived of human touch. Do fatherless children justify the cost Memories of a generation lost. Weeping mothers by the score Adding...

Ukrainian Poetry Translations 2 by Michael R Burch
Love in Kyiv by Natalka Bilotserkivets translation by Michael R. Burch Love is more terrible in Kyiv than spectacular Venetian passions, than butterflies morphing into bright tapers– winged caterpillars bursting aflame! Here spring has lit the chestnuts, like candles, and we have cheap lipstick’s fruity taste, the daring innocence of miniskirts, and all these ill-cut coiffures. And yet images, memories and portents still move us... all so...

Ukrainian Poetry translations by Michael R Burch
Dear God! by Taras Shevchenko translation by Michael R. Burch Dear God, disaster again! Life was once calm, serene... But as soon as we began to break the chains Of bondage that enslaved us, The whip cracked! The serfs' blood flew! Now, like ravenous wolves fighting over a bone, The Imperial thugs are at each other's throats again. Zapovit ("Testament") by Taras Shevchenko translation by Michael R....

An Artist Refuge
Slava Ukraini! shroud the gallery's glass doors, a solitary scene of grazing goats, greets the guests along with music. Confident, brush strokes curl muted colors of rustic farm houses behind broken, split-rail fences on a cloudy Carpathian day drawn by an artist sitting in ruined, ravished Kherson - a limping dog of a city with patches of bare skin showing. Other pictures, different story; dark, dreadful, desolate people in...
