"My tears flow for Ukraine..."

My tears flow for Ukraine,

And I can’t hold them back -

A sign of the humane,

Before the levies crack,

Before the sharks are loose

On squares – another night? -

Before another noose

Is pulled a bit too tight.

Before the dark abyss

Absorbs the cries for help,

Before your eyes meet his

And recognize yourself.

Before more blood is shed,

His? Yours? It matters not,

A bullet to the head

Does not distinguish blood.

The price of oil sold

Is too hard to deduce,

To such a crazy world,

One answer – I refuse.
