scars that never heal – v3

cities devastated, destroyed, attacked…
Izium, Kharkiv, Odesa, Poltava, Kherson,
too many cities and towns in the crosshairs,
wounds constantly being reopened,
scars that never heal, bleeding,
rage against these innocent people,
merely wanting to survive…
 
a hell of evil, of Satan, of Russia,
not history, forgotten, receding,
living memory, present, with them,
scars that never heal, ripped open,
a testament to resolve, to anger, terror,
genocide against these people, victims,
like Abel crying from blood-wet soil…
 
cities devastated, destroyed, attacked…
Izium, Kharkiv, Odesa, Poltava, Kherson,
too many cities and towns in the crosshairs,
open wounds, scars that never heal, bleeding,
because their neighbor is evil, subhuman,
spawn of Satan, of Mordor, of darkness,
spewing bile of terror, attrition, genocide…
