Where are the voice of the ‘anti-war’

 





Where are the voice of the ‘anti-war’

 (where are you now the phantom of Vietnam Anti-war protesters?)


Have you not seen?

The fire

the fire that burns Ukraine

Have you not seen

The bloodshed

the trees scorched

The children’s hurt

The schools

The churches

the city where old and young lived now crumbled, burned,

block by block!

 

Have you not seen

the face of the evils

the eyes of killers

advanced in the shield of power

 to rape the land

to wiping out their neighbor Ukraine

 

Ukraine run!

Ukraine run!

like a brave child being cornered

wounded, paralyzed  by fear

but not kneel to the invaders

He looks up to God above

searches for compassioned hearts below

Tears stream his eyes

the city is  on fire

what to become of my

Beloved land?

What to become!

Oh my Ukraine!

 

where are you now

The 'dark voice' of war protesters,

that once echoed the world

demanding for peace conditionally or unconditionally

where are you now

that voice of yours?

 

Where are the anti-war songs,

the music, the hippies,

the brainless actors, actresses

and where are you all now

the once antiwar children of American

of this Great Country against Vietnam war?

 

Where is your voice  now?

The bombs are falling in the cities

the cities where people like you, like me, live

Where our mother, father and child,  live

The bombs are falling in the cities

of Ukraine now

 

 

they’ve waited for your voice

What hesitant you to PROTEST ?

 

PEACE  to UKRAINE
