To MCW, About Ukraine

the nitric chill of caustic rain ... deaf to wet lung screams of pain ... unconscionable regret ... sanction warfare the only threat ... the writing on the great wall taunts pacts penned in cyrillic fonts 


three miles above the ground ... as shallow as the graves being found ... in full geospatial view ... the wake of bodies invasions accrue ... a fate undeserved ... to escalate won't prove we've the nerve


only love can conquer hate

the moscow mule pulls all our fate

to Russia bombs of love

where eagles dare send only doves


the naked horseman has image to prove ... lines drawn in the sand won't move ...  the rain that comes one day ... a  Nagasaki fall out to pray ... what cards and letters won't do ... the postman carries the will of a few


the righteous and the just ... the west knows it should ... the east claims they must ... none among us wish to die ... the fallout of earth will be a carbon-14 lie ... do we nuke or bring back the draft ... neither will work and it's no time to laugh 


only love can conquer hate

we've come too far just to escalate

as a nation we've only just begun

with black summer resolve now make the world as one


think global act local for peace ... set your emotional warfare clocks to cease ... we can only do so much a day ... before someone takes our phones away 


we will all get through this united ... letting fear in is unwelcome and won't be invited ... we are proof that we're equal all capable of logic thought ... no one needs to worry about being caught ... all Marvin wants us to find out is what's going on ... no one is always right but there's no one who is wrong


think global act local now ... the only way we can have peace is for us to show them how


Signed,


The Class of Seventy-nine
