Ukraine

Post by Colm Roe » Thu Mar 03, 2022 8:19 pm

Do it now,
settle it once and for all
or
be plagued forever.

Saturate every road from the West,
sweep a protest to Kyiv,  
let Europe, in their tens of millions
with their feet
tattoo the country
with a permanent declaration.
 
A reminder that
the worm has turned.

We are entitled to visit friends
even in war.

Let us walk in swathes
promising peace
and gentle suggestions. 
This procession 
massive and unstoppable
an ultimate statement.

Tell the Russian protestors 
to forget their cities
to move West, and join their future
massing in Kyiv.

It could work, Linda. Maybe I should give Bob Geldof a buzz  :)
