A POET ON CHRISTMAS EVE

“Let’s endure this winter.

Because we know what we are fighting for.”

“Freedom comes at a high price.

But slavery has an even higher price.”

 

“Let’s endure this winter.

Because we know what we are fighting for.”

“The world must see and understand.

What absolute evil we are fighting against.”

 

“We endured at the beginning of the war.

We endured attacks, threats.

Nuclear blackmail, terror.

Missile strikes.”

 

“Let’s endure this winter.

Because we know what we are fighting for.”

“We will celebrate our holidays!

As always.”

 

“Let’s endure this winter.

Because we know what we are fighting for.”

“We will smile and be happy.

As always.”

 

“The difference is one.

We will not wait for a miracle.

After all, we create it.

Ourselves.”

 

 

*Because I read “Ukraine war: Zelensky delivers defiant Christmas message after Russian strikes” on 25 Dec 2022, on the BBC News.
So, I wrote this poem.
