News headlines echo the saddest of refrains

economic tension following Ukraine

makeshift shelters cold and damp

solid darkness replaces standard lamps

ordinary people decide to flee

away from that imposed by the foreign bully

we neither understand nor remain immune

yet the music performed is positive tunes

we pray the destruction will come to an end

that the bully is controlled by enemies and friends

we try to hold that thought for peace will unfurl

When the Lights Go On Again All Over The World
