Blood and smoke mingle
Freedom’s light of truth grows dim
Buildings blown to bits
***
Ukraine’s beauty lies destroyed
Bodies rest in shallow graves

Pray for peace in Ukraine

Amen, Dwight. What is happening to the people of Ukraine is such an unconscionable travesty, words fail at a certain point.
