The dust of Pokrovsk
the same as the dust of Aleppo
The choice of the world
was to remain silent...
The same evil is on the march,
The same as the Holodomor, the gulags...
The age of tyrants must end;
Freedom must take its place...
have been reduced to ash and rubble
When our indifference is inaction
when we could act...
Ours is an immoral choice -
There is no neutrality in genocide -
We fail to stand with them
in the breach, in the gap...
our promises when we would not keep them...
They needed us to stand with them
to fight for their victory...
in the dust, in their black soil,
when our indifference was inaction
when we could have stood with them
the brave people of Ukraine...
