Let Ukraine Strike the Archers – v2

We must untie Ukraine’s hands,
we must let them defend their nation,
Let Ukraine Strike the Archers,
the source of their terrors,
let them defeat their genocide,
for if they strike the air bases, the missiles,
they will have less ground to defend,
air defenses for their arrows,
to keep their people safe…
 

So many of their people, their cities,

are far too close to the border,

with no time for self-defense measures

far too many of these brave people must huddle 

in their bathrooms, in bomb shelters,

while the air raid sirens howl overhead,

Let Ukraine Strike the Archers

so there will be fewer arrows,

to keep their people safe…
