Where is our conscience, our morality,
where is our humanity as people, as nations;
how can we see this terror and remain silent,
why do we allow these acts of terror, genocide,
what do we need to see to change within us,
within our hearts, our spirits, to speak, to finally act?
When will we rise to meet this moment, war,
these endless years of murder, repeating, terror,
daily images of carnage, of destroyed, shattered lives
and yet we sit in our comfort, too timid, quiet,
while Russia eliminates an entire people,
while we allow them to erase Ukraine?
