Resolve personified – v6 #poetry #God #prayer #war #terror #genocide #Ukraine #peace #victory #StandWithUkraine #TarasShevchenko

Resolve personified,
in the faces of these people,
fearless, not letting their enemy win,
not ceding ground to the terror, to evil,
holding fast in the storms, the chaos,
so that genocide will not prevail…
 
Too long have they suffered,
too many lost in the maelstrom,
the storm of chaos, of evil, power,
But resolve, resolute in their struggle,
In choosing to take up arms,
to defend their sovereign nation…
 
Resolve personified,
a choice each morning,
in every moment, each decision,
for this nation, for these people,
to protect, to defend their homeland,
to say no to evil, to the invaders, the Moskals…
 
Meeting the enemy in battle,
slowly pushing back evil,
too long a delay in assistance,
Yet the tide is turning slowly,
skies are more protected, defenses,
for victory, a just peace must rise…
 
Resolve personified,
In the posture of every person,
every son and every daughter,
All these courageous people
who stand against the enemy,
who say no to Russia’s evil intent…
