RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Depravity at Dnipro
When you have murdered civilians
by the tens of thousands
what prevents you from killing
thousands more?
When your crimes against humanity
are known to all the world
what constraints exist?
The devastation in Dnipro
summons memories of Dresden
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The bombing of London
The massacres at Mi Lai, Sand Creek
Washita and Wounded Knee
War crimes and crimes against humanity
that had no military value
Murder for murder’s sake
Terror as a weapon of war
There can be no forgiveness
for crimes such as these
They must be entered in the book
of human depravity
Add Dnipro to the list
