Bombs are Falling on Ukraine

Remember when the skies were blue

And fear of war was but a phantom feint?

But now that feint is phantom no more

As undercurrents of the war rev up

And bombs are falling on Ukraine 

The world, its order ripped apart,

It percolates with war again

The smoke is black with blood and death

And bombs are falling on Ukraine 

The despot with blue eyes, 

His name be damned,

Is in heat

And bombs are falling on Ukraine

How many more will have to die

For bloody pleasure of the despot's

Sick, dimented game? 

He will not stop until the world is up in chaos

And bombs keep falling on Ukraine

When will the world wake up, 

Shake off its fear and flex its muscle

Like it has before?

But bombs are falling on Ukraine 

Remember when the skies were blue... or gray, 

And we could travel? 

We could go anywhere in the world 

But now, bombs are falling on Ukraine.
