Truth cannot be hidden
under a mask of protection...
Life is in the living
in this window on the soul
burdens on their hearts...
 
Gravity so evident, manifest,
changed caused by battle,
by four years of struggle,
written on each face...
 
Eyes of the defenders
tell their nation’s story
their resistance, their resolve,
their fight for survival
against Moskal’s horde...
 
The enemy has no idea -
What giants they have awakened...
Ukraine will prevail -
These eyes will smile again...
