The world is shocked
by the carnage in this video
the savagery in this moment;
but this is repeated daily,
hourly, for many years...
Wanton murder, torment,
young men of Russia in Kherson,
staring at their flickering screens
guiding their FPV drones
to destroy civilian targets...
Precise action,
nothing random,
hunting humans –
No value in war,
just cruel, awful, death...
They call this “Human safari” -
a bland term truly;
but it describes cruelty,
death for money, for sport...
These Russian soldiers
are Dead Souls only
that Gogol wrote about;
They are bereft of life,
taking human life...
Cruel subhumans
(if only they were robots)
staring at their screens -
posting videos -
Their acts of genocide...
