In fields of green where flowers bloom, The soldiers march through dusk and gloom.
The clouds above, a storm of dread, Raining bullets down with fear widespread.
Each drop a shard, a perilous sting, Yet soldiers form a steadfast ring.
To shield the flowers, pure and bright, From war’s relentless, cruel night.
In trenches deep, they hold the line, Protecting petals, soft, divine.
For every shot, they stand their ground, Ensuring blossoms safe and sound.
For in their strength, we find our own, A testament to seeds they’ve sown.
In memory’s light, their deeds shall live, A gift of peace they strive to give.
Through rain of bullets, storm of strife, They guard the dreams of every life.

Beauty for Peace
In her homeland’s embrace, her plea unfolds, To the invader, where peace untold. “Take these seeds,” she implores, eyes sincere, From invader ashes, peace’s bloom shall adhere.

The White Swan
Out of town, but not alien to Kharkiv, rests the White Swan. Still and calm knows what happens, listen to the war.
Around it the children play and run, his life is normal, they don’t think about war, they are not afraid of the future, live confident the swan protects them.

We walk together, with open hearts, no borders, just people side by side, the noise of war dies, love only grows, we join as one, we melt together, under one sky.

Another Poster
I clearly see before my eyes this other poster:
Two fingers in the shape of a V - the frightful sign of Victory.
A carbonised ghost: the tragic and the absurd in one single frame.

no ownership no way to sway the dreamscape even the lucid at best shape an imagined world with the barest touches of grace the greatest right is control’s release the greatest freedom is to see the burning within another’s skin and not squelch to witness the water’s flow and ride to be free & acknowledge the free all regimes die swords shatter and cease their clink even bomb fires burn out
beloved, i am telling you a truth the fight will end at being human when the mouth opens and pours out life’s velvet green

BAD SIGNS
Education is the lighthouse that lights the way a sign of the future truncated by abandonment ghost schools, without children beehives without bees the world is upside down prioritizes vanity not schooling desolate future by a handful of foolish rulers who accumulate power condemning everyone to the darkness of ignorance by preponderance
