Ukraine

We in the U. S. see the images
of bloodshed,
and riots.
Seventy people killed 
as of February 25th.

It's happening now.
It should end now.

A proud nation,
ancient.
A key cultural center
in the Middle Ages.

You can see the influence of its
art and music in the
Odessa Opera House.

May it always stand proudly
and securely as a symbol of
what Ukraine once was,
and continues to be.

Ukraine, 
may your light 
continue to shine!

  1. With the conflict in Ukraine, I realize how little I know about it. I am seeking to learn more about this proud nation and praying for an end to conflict.
