Ukraine
i pull apart a light with a loose wire everything in the word is loose
from the tv with tanks marked z in a Ukrainian war
and the dead littered the road like refuse with Russian children
doing the damage with rape and killings then the bullets fly
the new holocaust for modern times then the dead have
no one to cry out to these animals that pretend to be soldiers raping children
and they cover their dead with carpet while wild dogs run
with the ground too hard and frozen to put a spade in
as the war rolls on little battles little killings the Ukrainian war.
