there's poetry in ukraine

there's poetry in watching a war go on over tik tok live thousands of miles away fighting to survive there's poetry in hashtag calls for help sending prayers for those running with nothing but rags there's poetry in arguing on how to assign the blame rather than using that energy to devise ways to help there's poetry in finding all the wrong focuses forgetting that what's happening on TV and what we're watching on tiktok and what the memes are parodying is all real. is not a fiction. is not a dystopian fantasy. there are people dying and we ponder who to blame more often than we ponder how to help i think there's poetry in that
