Our prayer repeating, recurring, urgent,
Frozen in time, unresolved, waiting,
a nation in rubble, burning, forgotten,
standing on its own, too long,
Fighting for democracy…
Don’t let evil win, be triumphant,
Don’t give Ukraine to the Madman
It will not be the end of his dreams…
Our silence crying out, longing,
Our prayer repeating this day,
to retake the stage, the breath,
to join them in their fight…
Evil only understands threat/ resolve,
his card of nuclear Armageddon…
The West cowed once again….
A rabid Bear on the march…
His dreams of conquest, an empire,
The lies of his own propaganda,
destruction of just one nation, Ukraine,
isn’t the end of his mission, his purpose,
His cry for ancient blood…
His fevered quest is much greater,
We must stop him now, here,
before he kills, and kills again…

Signs of the End Times
https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2022/02/signs-of-end-times.html
"Signs of the End Times" was trying to make sense of what was happening,
with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022,
but not just the full-scale invasion, and it is in my Published poems folder on
my desktop, but it truly was in real-time, me trying to understand how
the full-scale invasion could be happening.
