Europa IV – The Long Night Goodbye Nick Armbrister /Andy N

Heroic III


Fathers became beacons of sounds

When that bomb first fell

Holding their children under their coats

Whispering it would be over soon

Wven if they didn’t have a clue


Or indeed whether they would all live.

The memorials showed the photos of each soldier killed

Cut down by enemy fire be it bullets or rockets

Two hundred dead in Poltava

Five hundred and fifty from Dnipro

Adding to the ten thousand plus dead

Made up of military and civilian lives

Each one forever a life taken

Each a unique story

A unique death

Big brother Russia turned on Ukraine

Putin took his time plotting and planning

His choice was an almost easy kill…

…or was it?
