Beautifully written my friend, yes I'd believe it would go straight to the throne room of God. And I know He would certainly hear it, but there are other factors involved, this a beautifully written cube, it would follow the cube form poem, except for 4th line 3rd stanza with three syllables, great work, well done, blessings Roy

this is heartbreaking, The innocence in the last line "and I will be good" breaks my heart. I realized how out of touch I was with reality when I read that. the idea that there is a child in a war struck country right now believing that this is somehow their fault and that by behaving they can fix this is a beyond words. It digs a pit into your heart. Thank you for writing this, this is a must read.

This skillfully written poem flows along smoothly in iambic dimeter, conveying a heart-wrenching message about the horrors the Ukrainians
are living--and dying--with, even children, slaughtered by a madman.

    Thanks, Janice. How Putin can live with himself is beyond me.

This is a lovely and heart-wrenching poem. The picture of the child is well chosen. Sadly, no child should have answers like this to the questions. Best wishes for the contest.
