Tears Of Ukraine

Bombs and guns suffocate the country,
Ukraine is now a graveyard at night.
Their remains lay among the sunflowers and daisy’s,
but the wind still blows, and the moon is bright.

Mothers and Fathers, Brothers and Sisters wait in vain.
Violence and fear flood the soldiers brain,
they fall to the ground in aching pain,
now laying as meat behind soldiers remains.

Wishing they said more goodbyes,
as their limbs are as motionless as their eyes,
their souls departs to the graveyard to lie.
Awaiting to walk with their ancestors.

We will remember your courage,
so strong and so brave.
As you fight for your country we sit here and pray,
for years and years your memories will stay.
