Putin’s Ukraine

To the Editor, Bodies in grotesque positions Humbled with death’s insensibility Skulls exposed in Bakhmut’s streets Tanks destroyed Armored cars shattered Gun turrets with dangling bodies Stench of death in Ukraine Winds howl mercy Let there be peace War is grotesque Bring back my body Let me be whole again My sould and body one No one to my rescue Thousands are dead Thrown into trenches Not even a grave The United Nations apologized America as well But somewhere in Ukraine My brothers lay dead Steve Kopa Weirton

The old human race will be back in place on the universe reverse as God has promised. Steve Kopa Weirton
