Reports BBC with glee
‘that the number of
Russian soldiers died
in the war against Ukraine
is obscured, and maybe
double the official figures.
More deaths just mean
more families bereaved,
vulnerable, insecure and weak
and more children orphaned
whether Russian or Ukrainian
everyone of those who died
is a son, a brother or a father
and has left a family in tatters.
who has drawn the borders
that divides man from man?
when will greed of treason
be subdued by reason?

God created the landmass, but man drew the borders for which all of us suffer and would suffer also. Impeccable piece.
I don't belive on media reports they are puppets and nothing else. Nice points.

The declaration of war ought to be deemed a global offense, and those who instigate it must be held accountable for their heinous actions and subjected to complete sanctions and boycotts.
