Excellent poem really conveys the sense of how fragile life is and how intense life or death situations can numb the person's soul and heart to the horrendous effects of war 💔 especially war unjustly thrust upon your people by the imperialistic and megalomaniac ambitions of the wannabe tsar war criminal. Slavi Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️ always ✨️ 🙏 💖

I’m flattered, thanks so much. I have to say I sometimes feel rather fraudulent writing about the war, your war not mine.

I spent a lot of time as a soldier in a similar land, where the countryside looks the same and the bullet holes remain.

Everyone suffered. Lovers and brothers fell.

Peace to everyone. One day.

Beautifully written and so sad that so many have lost

The basic feeling of love and compassion and empathy it is appalling to me and puzzles me so much! It is easy to to find and give and cost

Nothing to give!! Please

Pray that more people wake up and see

We all need to find kindness and empathy again or we will

All Lose!!! ❤️💙
