It is a year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Can’t understand it. Here’s a poem. !
WAR
Why must humans go to war?
What do they hope to gain?
I think that most of us deplore
That it started again.
Why do the leaders think it’s right
For many folk to die?
And make people resort to flight
And bid their homes goodby?
Two world wars in years long past
Brought much pain and grief.
The numbers dead were so vast
It is beyond belief
That it could all begin again
With Russia entering Ukraine
You state the essential tragedy and pointlessness of this war in simple, straightforward words. Too bad the war can’t be ended in such a plain-spoken and honest way! Humanity has learned a lot but this kind of egotistic, tribal-minded idiocy escapes solution–so far!
