Russia and Ukraine in warfare , 

     Vanquished at sunrise .

     Ukraine as it is unaware , 

     Is  Searching for a compromise .

 

     Endless deeps of conflict , 

     Affecting our world globally . 
  
     So as it is hard to predict , 

     For some looking at it in the contrary .

 

     The tank wheels imprinting on the grass ,

     As bombs fly through the sky .

     The shattering of glass ,       
   
     As terror and screams in one's eyes petrify .

 

    For there is no peace ,           
   
    As everyone should really unify .............

"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”<br /> <br /> ― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
