You have captured a very comprehensive view of the horror going on in Ukraine. Your words could come from someone who has experienced firsthand such atrocities. Thank you for bringing attention to their plight.

Rachael, the and you for reading and commenting on this important issue.
Comment from poetwatch
We live in freedom and watch as war tears a land and its people, author. For how long? No one can say. How does one stop a madman from marching, from destroying the people who want peace? All leaders of the world see the world at an end and fear to stop this madman. I don't know what will happen. This is a good entry for the Story Poem Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. We are living in changing times and it is important to know our priorities for the future thank you for your message for us to remember that we should not be conquering or even in conflict as the results are disastrous and climate-changing if certain factors come into play.

Comment from Janilou
I have to give you six stars for the fabulous piece. You have captured the essence of the situation so well with your words. I was just watching a You Tube video about the escape of some mothers and children from Hospice facilities in Ukraine on a train to Poland. It was heartbreaking. The entire situation is so insane. I think the entire world (probably even many in Russia) are hoping and praying the the Ukrainians can somehow be the victors and keep their country sovereign.
Thank you for sharing this.

Comment from Anne Johnston
"Should we sovereign peoples fail to prevent the spread of this disease
of humankind that happens over and over,
if unleashed, runs rampant,
the world may never be, no more!"
Your free verse poem has told a great story of the last ten days. What havoc this madman from Russia has created. I admire the people of the Ukraine who are fighting so bravely for the country. Well done on this.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
It's plain to read your plea that the crazed joker from Moscow, go home, It is a shame in a world that supposedly grows closer how a dictator takes control and threatens a sovereign state. This would have been better written as a story and beware. The CEC disqualified me for a poem because I wrote it as free verse and they said a poem rhymes. a week later they told me I wrote a poem, again free verse but stated the contest was for a story. The committee may have some Moskovite in them.

Hi Tom! Yes, for certain, I have had my run-ins with the CEC. I appreciate your comments and at least now I have vented... :)
