A war game of chess played for innocent blood
My entreaty for the plight of the Ukrainian nation
When did innocent lives become pieces
on your chessboard ~
played out as
pawns for your ego ~
subjected to the whim and fancy of an oligarch
Narcissism exuded at it's best ~
dark and cruel
I lend my voice ~
in solidarity to my sisters
and brothers fighting for their lives ~
in a senseless war
innocent blood being shed ~
of a people unprepared for the
ravages of war ~
You smite them down without impunity
Tyrannically imposing your will ~
fully expecting the force of your might
to break the backs and bend the shoulders ~
of a proud people
The prize for you, simply put ~
but not simply gained
is power and arrogant subjugation ~
the world at your feet
This for politics of the mighty oil ~
retaining old history
while silencing the voices of the wider world ~
We shall protest by any means
that avails itself to the mass ~
For injustice, in any form
must be subdued, and crushed ~
So, we lend our voices
and stand with the people of ~
the Ukraine
Be strong, though not alone ~
You still fight for your freedom
Peace shall soon be yours again ~
