the front will be everywhere

фронт буде всюди

If we are not awake, to the terror, 
glide bombs, missiles, cluster munitions, 
drones, no fear of reprisals, attacks,
consequences of their actions, 
their terror, their acts of genocide...

Hoping for change, wisdom, resolve,
for eyes to be open, hearts to be ready,
courage to serve Ukraine's needs, fully,
to keep the bear from escalation,
from their attacks, scorched earth...

The front line must be all, our stand,
or the front will be everywhere, 
every home, every life, everyone, 
a target, a victim,  a martyr,
a testament to hate, to chaos...

So much carnage, destruction, 
the bombs destroying life,
while the West dithered, delayed, 
while they debated, and waited, 
asleep in their beds...
