The people in the street standing,
not willing to remain silent,
about the choices made,
about the choosing of sides...
and only then listening...
 
More than twelve years after Maidan
People again gathering in protest
to chart the course for their nation...
Another cardboard revolution rising
After more than four years of war...
 
The people hold power,
standing in silence, in honor,
holding signs each morning...
Every hero, every sign held is
Their love of Ukraine...
 
They feel the tide turning,
a change in their posture,
the rising pace of innovation...
Missiles, drones targeting Moscow,
Wildberries on fire, ablaze...
 
In the crucible of war,
A fateful decision, momentum,
A critical change agent -
A strategy of victory -
They do not want to lose...
 
A cry to the president,
in the square before him,
thumping on cardboard...
Reinstate the visionary –
The one in whom they believe...
