A baby was born in Kyiv’s subway today
An old woman sat in her apartment Alone in a wheelchair Watching bombs explode across her city Wondering who will gather her things. A young man realized he will never again Receive his chemotherapy treatments A father knew his dialysis will never resume A mother stared at the remaining insulin vials for her 7-year old Employees understood their paychecks will never come In 20 years they will publish: A former Russian soldier, his confessional The next Amy Tan, her mother’s journey to freedom The next Bob Woodward, the Kremlin’s damning documents. Ten years ago a power-hungry fool killed Treyvon Martin This week, a power-hungry fool attacked Ukraine Today, a baby was born in Kyiv’s subway. |
