Freezing in the darkness - v2

Freezing in the darkness,
the long brutal winter coming,
too soon the temperatures will drop,
with no heat, no power, nothing truly,
but the ancient courage, the resolve,
of this brave, courageous people…
 
Millions in the dark, in the cold,
bitter temperatures will plummet,
lost in the geopolitics of the moment,
the delays, the hesitations, the fears,
not to torment the oppressor, the archers,
when the people stand in the breach…
 
Resolve their only hope, the unity of this people,
weathering on together, alone in their struggle,
because this is a fight for their nation’s survival,
the cold, nature itself, their enemy, the challenge,
because the world waited to assist them,
to fight against the face of evil…
