RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Smoke over Saint Petersburg
The Russian people are tired of war
Though lately they haven’t said a word
They caught a glimpse of what’s in store
With the smoke over St Petersburg
Where there is smoke there is fire
The explosions can be heard
The defiance they’ve inspired
There is smoke over St Petersburg
The war goes on and on and on
In Kiev it’s an everyday thing
From dusk until the break of dawn
The drones and missiles sing
Yet they’re hanging on defiantly
They show no signs of quitting
They’ve shown their strength quietly
The Russians they’re outwitting
As Americans join the Putin crowd
It’s as ugly as it is absurd
Ukrainians stand bold and proud
There’s smoke over St Petersburg
They are enduring the assault
The endless missiles and attacks
We all know it’s Putin’s fault
Now Ukraine is fighting back
