Weakening Russia – v2

Weakening Russia
sapping it of its power
the tools of war, terror,
of their genocide in Ukraine…
 
Only so much aid
to those fighting evil
only to weaken Russia
that much and no more…
 
What would have happened
if the allies were not timid,
what would have happened
if they sought Russia’s defeat…
 
How many lives would’ve been saved
from the slaughter, Russian terror,
if genocide was met with force
to stop them from beginning…
 
It is not too late to change,
lives are still in the balance,
the crucible of war yet
can be quenched…
 
We must just have the will
to defeat their evil, their terror,
we must stand with Ukraine
in this critical hour…
