Putin lacked blood in the veins-
He decided to invade Ukraine.
Our leaders joined in on the chain
Unable to feel remorse
Now they think it’s a doggone game
Where countries take turns playing predator vs. prey
And as the predators lead others astray
The prey is left counting their days.
Please don’t be a part of their games.
Please don't let them be the source of your dismay.
Continue to pray and stray away from their ways.
————————————————————
No group of people should cease to exist-
Please ceasefire!
