Watching the news of War in Ukraine
on TV. Me, seemingly tucked away
safely across the sea in the USA, viewing
the death and destruction of men, women,
children, homes, cities and towns. War
crimes leveled by Putin and his Russian
regime.
Savage and incomprehensible carnage. I try
to imagine me, my friends, family and neighbors
facing the same, lost and wandering aimlessly
amidst the total ravages mankind has wrought
against mankind. My heart and soul bleed for
us all.
They, the dead, wounded, displaced and survived,
traumatized by the cruel ideology and heinous
crimes of a barbaric and demented, despotic
little man.
2022, it’s hard to believe, a god-forsaken
world indeed streaming on social media.
All the death and destruction in time and
place, broadcast live on commercial TV.
In reality, none of us can escape from the
horrific tragedy.
