ukrainians are fighting
for their country––
ukrainians are fighting
for their freedom––
ukrainians are fighting
for their lives––
ukrainians are fighting
for their minds––
ukrainians are fighting
for their future––
putin says
there is no ukrainia––
ukrainia is a myth––
ukrainia never existed––
but this myth
is made of steel––
the invasion
is a farce.
each russian soldier is
murdering
their own human
name––
& blasting apart
their own human
heart.
