Crying for #Crimea, for #Ukraine

Crying for Crimea, for Ukraine,
for the pain of conquest
the ripping apart
stitching together
the movement of forces
the invasion of a sovereign state.
 
Geopolitics, pawns in the middle,
of arrogance and power
bare-knuckle brute strength
quiet diplomacy, appeasement,
all of it failing, in the crucible of history
under abject aggression, a terrorist state.
