Choose Love


I am British,
You’re Russian, 
Chinese or, 
Perhaps European is you,
A whole world of peoples,
Ukraine in the middle,
Who are all simply people too…

A people’s leader is no longer a peoples face, 
a peoples leader now brings the people disgrace, 
a peoples leader lies to a peoples vote, 
a peoples leader don’s the mantle, and turns the cloak…

Would that you and I could settle our country’s greedy grievances, 
if we could but drink coffee, play chess and talk, 
if we could but love instead of balk, but alas, in a war like world; hate is good for moral…
