Putin’s Dust
Bedding to ashes
Houses to dust
Sure and certain
Cities resurrected
Traumatised people
Suffer eternally.
Pounded to rubble
Killed to be saved
Liberators in khaki
Dispensers’ of death
Following orders
Mindless madness.
Committed to the ground
Flesh to earth
Pulverised
To pulp
Grandiose plans
Paranoia and power.
Curtains to ashes
Children to dust
Futures to earth
Hope to rust!
Dreams dissolved
Horrors unleashed.
Time does not heal!
Time does not heal!
Time does not heal!
Time just moves on.
It moves on
And takes the stains with it.
Opher – 31.3.2022
War traumatises all who come into contact with it. It traumatises. It breaks minds. It ruins lives
The jigsaw puzzles cannot be put back together.
Minds are broken, damaged.
There is a stain that lasts forever.
It damages the victors as much as the victims.
Putin will suffer.
Is this why we put psychopaths in charge? Because they have no feelings for the suffering they instigate?
Is this why we elect sociopaths because they enjoy inflicting pain?
Are these leaders human?
Do they not become disturbed by the death and suffering they unleash?
Cities are rebuilt but the stains remain.
People cannot be rebuilt. The survivors are often the unlucky ones.
Part of them is forever destroyed.
War.
Nothing can ever be normal again.
