My poetry: reflecting on our world
No Coming Back
A few in many million
Can simply order oblivion
Attack, attack, attack
Theres no coming back
For the now turned fighters
Once actors and bikers
Doctors and teachers
Parents and preachers
Human beings, now buried in mass
Rotting under the green grass
Death for what, fellow civilians?
Oh no, for a few in many millions
About
I wrote this poem about dictators and war after Putin's horrific invasion of Ukraine. A war that is putting millions of people in peril and killing many thousands, including the people he's meant to care for - his own citizens. It's heartbreaking how a few people out of many millions can cause so much suffering for so many - and for what? History repeating itself many times over.
