Refugee.

Putin's war

Pleading words, never heard.
No matter how we scream
Seagull souls cry then fly
To escape this crazy scene
They terrify each frightened head
These foul tongues talking peace
Forget his soldiery, they will flee
Crack this flea on humanity
Bring him to his knees!

Oh unpurged images flee my dreams
Free me from this wailing sea
Oh free world, whose sole intention
Seems to be to care for thee!
Let this fanatical invention pass
Let it sink like dew into the grass
Come all you countries! Join, become one
Merge your philosophy and be done
Wake the world, all sanity fled
Reason gone and logic dead.

Thank you for your kind review Chris. If the whole world wrote poetry and gave reviews like yours there would be no more war. Thank you so much.

Your poem touches the emotions. Life turned upside down for the people of Ukraine against an evil aggressor. So many having to take refugee in neighbouring countries while their brave men and military fight for their land. Thank you for sharing.
