A few nations have no real friends:
Russia, China, Iran & Afghanistan
The daily news mentions little else than
How to fight them ~ I await the day it ends
A few nations have no real friends:
Russia, China, Iran & Afghanistan
The daily news mentions little else than
How to fight them ~ I await the day it ends
When the Russians, or the Americans,
Destroy our datacenters & cables ~
What happens to our photos, mails, scans ~
The thoughts may be more than fables
I try not to worry
About what seems escalation
Between Russia and the world population
Also Russia’s view, I try to see
Worries & tensions rise
Someone should get wise
From my distance, I uneasily judge
On who should budge
History taught to never underestimate
Russia ~ it lost severely in several wars
Yet, it bounced back, even when late
And others had crashed its doors
Vladimir Putin didn’t attend
Iconic president Gorbatsjev’s funeral
Because it ‘didn’t fit into his work schedule’
This isn’t easy to defend
Suppose Russian rule reaches the Atlantic
Or, Westblock is likewise fiercely expansive
Have you thought, how you will live?
Rule has a function & a semantic
Our human world is changing thoroughly
Less babies born, shrinking populaton,
Leading to less comfort & economic action
May also Russia return to the community
As a cooperative nation
I wonder if Putin can see
The EU isn’t a strong economy
Is it the reason why he took his chance
To make a violent advance
As unhappy as I am about the war
Loss of life & land to Russia
There’s perhaps one valid issue for Russia
It won’t accept foreign currency anymore
Not only the cold, the endless rain
Also the bad news of people being slain
Is a return of darkness in Europe
A country is in the grip of a misanthrope
There are no swift solutions
To the conflict and destructions
Between Russia and Ukraine
We can expect a lot more pain
Ukraine’s president talks today;
Mentions the very young Russian soldiers
Ill trained, scared, peowns in others’ play
Bodies deleted, kept from parents’ tears
Perhaps, compassion on a cruel day
I don’t hate anybody
Everybody deserves their say & input
Yet, now, the Russians need go home quickly
Ukraine needs help to stay put
Russia didn’t walz over Ukraine yet
Hopefully, this won’t happen ever
Zelenskyi is a remarkable leader,
Uniting the Russian & Ukrainian speaker
In his nation — it may be winning asset
Hopefully, Russia made a short lived bet
