Unwavering Support – v3

What will it take for NATO,
for the United States, for their allies,
to give Ukraine unwavering support,
to open the armories, a surge,
all the arms they need, now,
in this critical moment…
 
Russia is unrelenting, terror,
a brutal regime, monsters, Orcs,
butchering cultural icons, history,
attrition, genocide, beheaded POWs,
all that should have shocked the conscience,
that should have caused us all to act…
 
Three years of existential terror,
centuries truly, dominion, cruelty,
the assaults, the meat grinders,
civilians thrown into the breach,
a war of genocide, pure evil,
blood running in the streets…
 
When will we finally act, fully,
abandoning fears of escalation,
offering unwavering support for them,
when will we rise to this moment, to agree,
that Russia must be defeated, now,
before any peace will come…
