Holding #Evil at bay – v2 #Ukraine #Russia

So unfair, not right,
the world merely watching,
a people, a nation, triumphant,
standing, unbowed, unbroken,
standing alone, resolute,
Holding Evil at bay.
 
Strong against the invaders,
nights, days of terror,
agonizing, awful losses,
two years of invasion
but ten years of resistance
Holding Evil at bay.
 
Now, in this moment,
the world must stand, fight,
with them in their battle,
giving heroes what they need,
to lead them to victory,
To defeat this Evil today.
