premeditated murder – v2 #Putin #Russia #WarCrimes

we must change more than our vocabulary,
to speak the truth of Russia’s terror, genocide,
there is nothing random, indiscriminate,
targeting civilians each time,
acts of premediated murder,
of wonton disregard for human life,
seeking to cause panic, despair,
raining hell down upon them
but never defeating their resolve…
 
Russia seeks to erase Ukraine,
to deny their existence as a people,
they long to recapture all of its empire,
even ready to slaughter her own people
to rise from the ash heap of failure,
the defeat of the former union,
prepared for a long struggle, a war
without any end in sight, never,
decades of war to come…
 
Russia is led by a madman, a tyrant,
demanding premeditated murder, war crimes,
awful double-taps against responders,
targeted crimes against innocent children,
civilians asleep in their beds, exhausted,
living in the crucible of war, of terror,
the truth of their relentless evil, genocide,
blood of the innocents poured on them,
Russia is a terrorist state…
