Ukraine. Democracy.

Last Monday. President’s Day.

Patriotism and appreciation for Democracy,

a fragile and priceless gift.

Strike up the band.

March.

Wave the flag.

 

A President in another country,

President Zelensky in Ukraine,

hears the cacophony of bombs and air raid sirens

and stands firm in defense

of his country’s right to be independent.

A Democracy where the President

Is chosen in free and fair elections.

Not by sham voting and baseless propaganda

Like Putin, who has invaded a sovereign nation.

Ukraine.

 

President Zelensky,

stay strong.
