“This is Not a War!”
Just so you all know,
I may be killing people,
But it’s not in a war,
It’s a favor I bestow.
To Ukraine I send troops,
Commanded by generals,
With tanks, rockets and mortars.
But no, this is not a war!
My bombers drop bombs,
My soldiers shoot people,
Tanks level homes and stores,
Schools and churches, and more,
But no, this is not a war!
Missiles are fired at theater,
Where kids, women take shelter,
Kill them by hundreds and more.
But no, this is not a war!
Dead bodies stacked up mountain high,
Pain shrieking up to the sky,
Rivers flow with blood and gore.
But no, this is not a war!
Ukrainians kicked out of homeland,
Seeking refuge in Moldova, Poland…
Numbering three million and more.
But no, this is not a war!
Thousands of troops have died,
With few really knowing why,
Ukraine we must take over.
But no, this is not a war!
Russians are told to be deaf,
To any truth that is spread,
Or 15 years behind bars,
If they dare call this a war!
