A poem about war

In Ukraine’s land, where echoes weep, a nation wounded — its spirit steeped in the crimson tears of a relentless fight where shadows dance with the darkest of nights.

Amidst the fields of golden grain, battlefields etched with pain. War’s cruel hand has left its mark, shattering dreams and tearing hope apart.

Brother against brother, a tragic divide, families torn their love denied in the echoes of gunfire, children’s cries, an anguished symphony beneath the skies.

Yet in the midst of this ravaged land heroes arise with courage so grand defenders of freedom, hearts afire, they rise united, never to tire.

Amid the ruins, a flicker of grace, resilient souls, they seek to embrace, with every heartbeat, they yearn for peace, their love for Ukraine shall never cease.

Oh, Ukraine, land of ancient tales, your spirit soars, it never fails, through hardship and pain, you stand tall, a beacon of hope amidst the fall.

May peace descend upon your soil, and heal the wounds that war did foil, for in your strength, we find our light — Ukraine — our prayers soar day and night.

Author’s note

I wrote this poem when I saw the news about the war in Ukraine and now another war has begun in Israel. Why is there so much war?

War is not something I agree with, but it may be necessary to fight back if war is declared. I wrote about war during my Philosophy course (Humanities degree). It was a delicate topic to cover but quite interesting. Keep an eye out for this article which will be shared soon in another publication.
