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
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
For me, work, as usual
Finally, I’ll soon finish it all
It looks like escalation of the war
In Ukraine isn’t far
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
The beauty of florals & the Sun
The return of gardening
And other outdoor fun
Almost shifts back the war now raging
There are no swift solutions
To the conflict and destructions
Between Russia and Ukraine
We can expect a lot more pain
Many hours of sunshine
I had nice activities today
Other people suffer on their way
Because a leader disrespects mine & thine
All those effected by tiranny
Or standing up against tiranny
Who risk their life
May it shield them from evil’s strife
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
There’s sad, violent mayhem
At least, there’s one positive day item:
The weather
Today’s Sun is forceful as in Summer
I don’t hate anybody
Everybody deserves their say & input
Yet, now, the Russians need go home quickly
Ukraine needs help to stay put
Work doesn’t wait
In spite of injustice on the world stage
That may have a lot of weight
Yet, I concentrate on my page
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

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — February 25th
I like this challenge and think I found an appropriate reply from my archive:
BY DOURYEH
Today 72 years ago
Uprising against Germany
Courage wasn’t low
Yet it couldn’t set free
That escalating warfare
Is as brief as possible
That violence is as little as possible
That we all learn lessons about what’s fair
Will there be war, soon
Or will they renounce the folly
Our world will be lit by Sun & Moon
But, again, blood will flow abundantly
