In the crucible of terror – v6

Insanity of these minutes
the attack of the Madman
releasing the dogs of war;
Crucible of terror,
history repeating again.
 
Choice of the Madman
invasion, war, shelling,
tanks, fighter jets, on the move;
Attacking a sovereign nation
their neighbor, their kin.
 
Ancient lines of kinship, language,
sovereignty denied, Madman
genocide, terror in the streets,
launching chaos, Armageddon;
Lunatic on the march.
 
Dominoes poised, yet standing, defiant,
taunted by the Madman,
the sabers rattling, the dogs barking,
but he is encircled by Freedom;
He cannot stand in the end.
 
People rising, stronger,
the world united against the terror,
siding with right against evil
Night will soon end, victory;
Madman in the dock.

Ukraine Ambassador to United Nations

extracts of his speech to the General Assembly

#nuclearwar

‘This war was not provoked. It was chosen by someone right now

that is sitting in the bunker. We know what happened to the person

who sat in the bunker in Berlin, in May, 1945,’

said Ukraine’s U.N. envoy Sirgiy Kyslytsya .
