We won’t forget you, Ukraine

We won’t forget you, Ukraine
as the sirens sound
in the lonely forests
where your children walk.

We won’t forget you, Ukraine
while the world’s leaders
pontificate and prevaricate
and your people live and die.

We won’t forget you, Ukraine,
while the bombs fall
and the drones fly above you
as Putin plays his terror games.

We won’t forget you, Ukraine
until there is peace
and people can sleep without fear,
when the world will heave a sigh of relief.
