Russia must be stopped,
their goal of death, of genocide,
erasure, destruction of Ukraine,
their cruelty on full display,
callous indifference to life,
to humanity, to the innocents…
 
Freezing in the darkness,
A long, brutal winter is upon us…
The temperatures have dropped
with no heat, no power, nothing truly,
but the ancient courage, the resolve,
of these brave, courageous people…
 
Millions in the dark, in the cold,
bitter temperatures plummeting,
lost in the geopolitics of the moment,
delays, hesitations, fears not to
torment the oppressor, the archers,
when the people stand in the breach…
 
Resolve their only hope, the unity of these people,
weathering on together, alone in their struggle,
because this is a fight for their nation’s survival…
The cold, nature itself, their enemy, the challenge,
because the world waited to assist them,
to fight against the face of evil…
 
The world must again unite to aid in recovery,
to restore what was destroyed, to prepare
for more terror, their crimes of genocide,
to join them on the wall, the ramparts,
to stand on guard with them, to defeat
their plans for evil, to rise as civilization
beside this noble nation…
