Ukrainian Stalemate Lingers

Zelenskyy visits front-line as Ukraine gears up for counteroffensive | PBS  NewsHour

What fetid fruits now bloom upon the vine
Of scheming Moscow's poisoned war designs?
Though righteous Ukraine stands bold against the tide
Pale Progress lingers, Crippled at her side

Brazen battalions mobilized for the fight
Yet stalwart Ukraine withstands their envious might
Feeble Europe offers words, not action's bite
And so the pestilent Russian bear takes its bite

Oh Diplomacy, where is thy wisdom flown?
Craven rhetoric seeds, yet concord's not sown
Peace and Justice sit idle midst the rabble
As villainy plants seeds in Sovereign's bramble

Alack! The hour glass empties grain by grain
While noble Ukraine writhes in endless pain
Unless Camaraderie dons its armor gleaming
Dire Injustice risks becoming the norm, it seems

So come, sagacious Leaders, quit this languidness
Bring lightning bolts to smite Aggression's wickedness
Stay not the righteous hand, wield sanctions' fury
Until malignance learns right's enduring glory
