Terror and Torture in Ukraine

 

Terror and Torture in Ukraine

Sweet children of Ukraine, the precious parts now gone, in terror and torture ridden,

Lives that were meant to be, abruptly stolen away, by the grief and pain, now hidden.

Never to sing and dance again, to the tunes they knew, of innocence and tenderness,

Minds filled with fearsome thoughts, languishing in their loss, and painful emptiness.

The courageous sons and daughters, who have given, the lives they had, for Ukraine,

Desperately fighting, for the ones they love, brave souls lost, never to be seen again.

Dutiful mothers, and loving fathers, who fought at the front, and endured the worst,

Against the brutal Orcs, the unruly savage beasts, sent from the east, by Putin cursed.

Innocent people dwelling day to day, uncertain of the light of dawn, living in darkness,

With terrible shadows cast, over their homes, towns, and cities, in strokes of madness.

With missiles and drones, raining down, destroying homes and hospitals, in their wake,

Leaving unsightly scenes, defenseless civilians, buried and dead, misery and heartache.

Soldiers returning from captivity, with parts missing, torture stories, too painful to share,

Suffering sickness and starvation, deplorable depravation, mental distress, and despair.

A country struck, with so much sadness, desperately fighting to survive the devil’s wrath,

As Russia blatantly pounds, and forges, leaving unutterable crimes, in its bloody path.

In the West, a world incapable of understanding, the awful terror and torture, in Ukraine,

Unable to feel the loss, grasp the heart wrenching reality, the dreadful suffering and pain.

The country plagued with an unwanted pestilence, is one that their world may never know,

Watching from afar, awful episodes unfolding, the terrible chapters in a Media Reality Show.
