Four years of #terror, #genocide #poetry #Ukraine #Russia #NATO #war #invasion #Putin #terror #genocide #Crimea #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState #1000Days #ThreeYears #FourYears

Another year added, sorrow,
A brutal invasion, a genocide, horrors,
Four years of terror growing, a crisis,
another unwanted anniversary, marking
twelve years, longer, under this threat,
knowing the bear is coming, rabid,
that imperial lust remains in its heart
the heart of the madman in the bunker…
 
Four years of war crimes, terror,
Blitzkrieg, an invasion, oppression,
attrition of their cities, horrible crimes,
their evil master returning, conquest,
his imperial lusts on display, present,
in the meat assaults, the missiles, drones,
genocide, crimes against humanity…
 
His cruelty is evident, this last Tsar of Russia,
an illegitimate dictator, a mad tyrant,
jailing his own people, grinding,
bent on exterminating these people,
horror, attrition, every day, repeating,
While we dither, appeasing; We must act,
We must arm Ukraine to defeat him,
the cruel madman in the bunker…
