The truth is not pretty
anger of bullets, of terror,
coming at them, the courageous,
those resolute against the fire,
The genocide of the Russian state…

We must not be complacent,
Neutral in our posture,
complicit in our inaction...
We stand with the fighters,
The Defenders of Ukraine…

We must stand with them
Those who fight evil,
Now, more than ever,
in the harrowing moments
When the bullets fly…
