Ukraine Invasion

Posted by lenleatherwood on

Innocent people

Women

Children

Men

Huddle in subway tunnels

Unsure of their fate

Unsure of their country’s fate

Russian soldiers cross into Ukraine

Russian tanks move into Ukraine

Russian rockets explode in Ukraine

Naked aggression

Bullying

A war motivated by greed and power

Russian Anti-war protesters

Bold and brave

Arrested by police

In a country that will make them pay

For their human right

To stand up for human rights

We, the world, watch

Horror-struck

Innocent people

Suffer

As one man’s

Sinister actions

Bring terrible pain

To all

Anti-War Protestors

I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a two-time Pushcart nominee, a nationally award-winning writing coach, an editor, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In addition, I am the mother of three grown daughters of whom I am extremely proud, a grandmother of four darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 44 years.
