Cue music and let's get back to the game
Whining of missiles and roaring of flame
From Lyviv in the west to Kremenchuk
If death has occurred, why must you look?
“There are no threats to the civilian population”.
He sits in his high backed leather chair
If death has occurred, why must you look?
“There are no threats to the civilian population”.
He sits in his high backed leather chair
Pressing the buttons devil may care
Fuming about the damaged Kirch Bridge
And assaults on his proud Russian heritage
“There are no threats to the civilian population”.
Summer is over and Winter's ahead
Speak silently of our glorious dead
The champion gamer has just made his mark
Where a bomb crater's yawning in Shevchenko Park
“There are no threats to the civilian population”.
Putin=scum
ReplyDeleteWar=threats to the civilian population
Pixie = Correct
DeleteThese are very good. Have you done one each month?
ReplyDeleteI made Ukraine poems in March, April, May and June but nothing inspired me to write new ones in July, August and September.
DeleteIt just gets scarier.
ReplyDeleteHow can it end? There seems to me no way out for Adolf Putin.
DeleteNo, no, it's not war - just a short military incursion to bring the Ukraine to heel. It will all be over in a week.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of us must now be wondering why this madman has not been "disposed" of - as he's disposed of others.
"Special operation" my arse! He needs a "special operation" himself - involving the removal of testicles.
DeleteNice work. I can imagine innocents being killed when a military installation is targeted but he is targeting residential buildings. Putin is an animal on the lowest level.
ReplyDeleteThat's an insult to wombats Andrew.
DeletePutin made a terrible mistake by going to war. I suppose it is called empire building and he can't go back sadly. For this atrocity hundreds of thousand people have been displaced and many killed. What I have never understood about war is the sheer wickedness of it in the killing. I feel just as sorry for Russian troops as Ukranian troops.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that most Russian troops have little or no commitment to this war. They wonder what the hell they are fighting for. Does anybody really know?

ReplyDeleteIn grave danger of risking a few steps backwards on my way to becoming the politest blogger in cyberspace, just in time a few Brecht-lines "For those born later" come to my mind:
Dabei wissen wir ja:
Auch der Haß gegen die Niedrigkeit
Verzerrt die Züge.
Auch der Zorn über das Unrecht
Macht die Stimme heiser. Ach, wir
Die wir den Boden bereiten wollten für Freundlichkeit
Konnten selber nicht freundlich sein.

Even the hatred of squalor
Makes the brow grow stern.
Even anger against injustice
Makes the voice grow harsh. Alas, we
Who wished to lay the foundations of kindness
Could not ourselves be kind.
A puzzling comment that has left me slightly flummoxed.
DeleteSorry for flummoxing, Neil.
DeleteHelplessness? I was just trying to calm down.
How I despise this person!
Well put, YP, it's appalling. Every single second of it and the lies. And mass graves of children. I would kill him on sight if I could.
