RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Stealing Children
What sort of depravity is this?
Stealing thousands of children
From their homes and families
For cultural re-education
In an enemy nation
What sort of inhuman mind can
Conceive of such depravity?
We can only assume they wish to
Recruit soldiers to serve in their
Invasion forces when their own
Citizens refuse and the mercenaries
Exceed their resources
The beast of the east wants Ukrainian
Children to fight Ukrainian soldiers
Their own parents and relatives
Their own friends and neighbors
For the pride of Mother Russia
It will not work
It cannot work
The world will not stand by as
The most depraved monster
Of the twenty-first century slips
Below the threshold of fundamental
Humanity
