Do you know what I asked?
Do you know what I believed?
Do you know what I counted?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I did?
Do you know what I earned?
Do you know what I felt?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I guessed?
Do you know what I had?
Do you know what I imagined?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I judged?
Do you know what I knew?
Do you know what I learnt?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I meant?
Do you know what I needed?
Do you know what I obeyed?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I prayed?
Do you know what I quelled?
Do you know what I readied?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I said?
Do you know what I thought?
Do you know what I understood?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I valued?
Do you know what I watched?
Do you know what I x’ed?
Because a prisoner in Olenivka.
Do you know what I yielded?
Do you know what I zoned?
Do you know what I asked?
Before a prisoner in Olenivka.
*Because my friend told me about the same article on 30 July 2022 on the BBC news as what I read like this:
“And we were shocked that our captives were killed in Olenivka …
Ukraine condemns Russia’s ‘humiliating death’ tweet after prison attack – BBC News
How can it be survived by relatives of these warriors???…
I don’t know…
It’s an unspeakable pain for all of us…”
So I wrote this poem.
