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.
