GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

Galya, my lovely colleague from Donetsk

In 2014, her family got hit by all that

Violence in the

East

Peace was out of the question, war a way of life

Even if the world hardly took any notice

All these other things to take care of

Critical, we thought, and the Ukraine

Ever so far away

And now, here we are

Coming to terms with Europe being at war again

Hospitals, theatres, schools burning

Atomic bomb threats

Nuclear plants in the cross-fire

Constant doom to scroll through

Experiencing history, repeating itself
