Putin, Hear My Prayer
written by: Mihaela Melnic
Ukraine, my blood, my flesh
I have nothing but a prayer.
Not for you, but for that tyrant
who against you wages war:
Be a human, Vladimir Putin,
be that husband and that father
your dear ones would be proud of.
Sense the fear, the pain, the hunger
of all innocents you have slain.
Wear their shoes and walk their miles,
take their clothes imbued with blood
and wrap your dear ones in them.
And if they love you for what you’re doing
may they rot with you in hell.
