"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.
