Poem 198: One Year Later

It has now been over a year since “Russia” invaded “Ukraine”

“Putin”, despite all his setbacks has continued with this campaign

So many soldiers and civilians on both sides being killed

The goal of reclaiming this land may never be fulfilled

What was supposed to be a simple takeover has reached an epic scale

Not sure if “Zelenskyy” and his allies will be able to prevail

The longer this drags out, the tide will eventually go Russia’s way

Interest in this battle is waning more everyday

The allies led by the “Americans” are aiding in this crusade

Yet having this country join “NATO” hasn’t officially been made

This siege has gone back and forth and there is no end in sight

Both sides of this battle claiming they are winning the fight

Countries helping “Ukraine” are assisting with their plan

They are sending them supplies whenever they can

“Putin” is determined to continue this assault to the bitter end

“Zelenskyy” and his countrymen are stubborn and continue to defend

The only way they can win is if sanctions against “Russia” cripple the nation

“Vladimir” who is in charge is not open to any negotiations

Countries helping “Ukraine” can only go so far

The last thing that they want to do is declare war

So if “Putin” feels he can continue, knowing these nations aren’t all in

He can play the waiting game and eventually he should win

“Biden” may get some opposition to continue with this aid

There’s a real calamity between the “Democrats” and the “Republicans” being played

“Republicans” want “Europeans” to fund more in this situation

They are more concerned with their own borders and the “Chinese” nation

They feel that they should focus on “China” and put “America” first

I guess they are more concerned with those floating balloons that they burst

I don’t understand “Russia” continuing to bombard a country they wish to occupy

How many more soldiers and civilians will be injured or die?

People of these nations are once again casualties of this event

Brought on by this “Russian” President

Once again they will all struggle because of his ego being bruised

More innocent people will be killed and abused

I can’t see this conflict finishing any time soon

“Vladimir” will eventually bring “Russia” to its ruin
