When there was a burial.
Of our pilots.
Two blue aircraft made a circle.
Above the city.
Five people were killed.
And another 25 were injured.
When missiles struck the central city.
Of Kropyvnytskyi.
When there was a burial.
Of our pilots.
Two blue aircraft made a circle.
Above the city.
In Kropyvnytskyi.
The Flight Academy was hit.
By two ‘orcs’ missiles.
At about 12:20 on Tuesday.
When there was a burial.
Of our pilots.
Two blue aircraft made a circle.
Above the city.
Two hits on the hangars.
Of the Flight Academy.
Two civilian aircraft were destroyed.
One An-26 aircraft was destroyed.
When there was a burial.
Of our pilots.
Two blue aircraft made a circle.
Above the city.
‘Mordor’ has carried out.
Deadly strikes across Ukraine.
As Kyiv stepped up its efforts.
To retake the occupied southern Kherson.
When there was a burial.
Of our pilots.
Two blue aircraft made a circle.
Above the city.
*Because my friend told me about the news of Kropyvnytskyi like this:
“We’re shocked by these news:
Russian missile attack on Kropyvnytskyi airport kills five, wounds 25 — it was near us … It was awful …
We once worked at this Academy and we have many of our friends there…
When there was a burial of our pilots – two blue aircraft made a circle above the city…”
And I also read the same news on the BBC news:
Ukraine war: Russia hits Kyiv area as Ukraine seeks to retake south – BBC News
And “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 April 2022, on the BBC news.
So I wrote this poem.
**My friend shows you this poem also on the Ukrainian website for their children and others!
