The Butcher of Aleppo

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS (UKRAINE)


The Butcher of Aleppo

 

The Russian butcher of Aleppo

Has come to Ukraine

Mass graves become common

Bombs fall like a hard rain

 

Towns and cities destroyed

Reduced to barren waste

Death of innocence sanctioned

Opposing forces erased

 

The butcher has no feeling

A soul as empty as a ghost

He’ll leave a trail of terror

From the mountains to the coast

 

There is no end to the horror

This monster will unleash

We must rise to meet the moment

To cage a rabid beast
