Ukraine

Through eyes of child
Battered and defiled
How does war justify?
Hard lessons merciless guise.

Vicious acts warmongers feat
Hope and love bids hasty retreat
Children suffering acute
O’er territorial dispute

Scapegoats, casualties of war
Unsure what fighting’s for
Tattered and torn seeking respite
Glorified reports writ

Some stick heads in mud
Soaked in innocent blood
Who is strong enough to stop decries?
Revoking villainous lies?
