The Liberation of Mariupol

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS (UKRAINE)

 

The Liberation of Mariupol

 

Piles and piles of rubble

Where neighborhoods used to be

Where workers used to work

Where parents raised families

 

The men tended their business

The women went their ways

Now there is but wasteland

Where the children used to play

 

Vladimir Putin liberated Mariupol

By exterminating the people

By crushing their spirits

By destroying their noble dreams

A liberation in smoke and dust

A liberation in missiles and bombs

A liberation in cold blood

 

The sound of liberation is the cry of death

The taste of liberation is a mother’s tears

The smell of liberation is burning flesh

The symbol of liberation is a mass grave

 

All hail the great liberator!

Who will he liberate next?

Will he liberate his own people?

Will he liberate his family?

Will he liberate himself?
