RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Stealing Children
The mother of all crimes
Against humanity and decency
The brazen theft of children
Stolen from their mothers’ arms
By the hundreds of thousands
To serve an enemy nation
To be reprogrammed as warriors
To be wiped of their culture
To be cleansed of their memories
To be stripped of their affections
To form an army of orphans
To fight against their homeland
Some crimes cannot be forgiven
Patricide, matricide, genocide
And this: Stealing children to fight
Against their own
