Flames of Conflict

Title: Flames of Conflict

In Eastern lands where shadows lay,
Russia and Ukraine engage in deadly fray,
Drone attacks crisscross the sky,
As wounded hearts collectively sigh.

From peaceful past to turbulent days,
A struggle for power, a ceaseless haze,
European Union funding now delayed,
Amidst the chaos, hopes begin to fade.

The whirring hum of unmanned flight,
Brings terror to the stillness of the night,
Bombs and missiles strike with might,
Families shattered, lives take flight.

Smoke rises, obscuring the sun’s gentle light,
Bitterness festers, feeding the fight,
Innocence shattered, dreams turn to dust,
As power and politics betray our trust.

Amidst the chaos, whispers of peace beguile,
But distrust lingers in every mile,
Oh, weary lands, heal thy deepest wounds,
Break the cycle of hatred and sound the clarion tunes.

Let harmony and understanding prevail,
On Ukraine’s fields and Russia’s trail,
Replace the echoes of destruction’s toll,
With compassion and love, let healing enroll.
