Ukrainian emergency employees and volunteers carry an injured pregnant woman from the damaged by shelling maternity hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine.
The innocent.
The season is a changing fast
The bulbs are pushing up through snow
Their roots are spreading down below
Above there’s war, bombs fall and tanks blast
Nature hears the echos of the past.
She wonders will man ever learn
As innocents they crush and burn.
The Russians lie and will ignore
It is false news the liars roar.
Against evil we must stand firm.
THIS IS PART OF RONOVANWRITE’S WEEKLY DÉCIMA CHALLENGE.

As I was changing channels I saw the rescuers taking pregnant and young children from the bombed hospital. Tears were flowing because I couldn’t turn the channel fast enough. It’s despicable.

Yes it is a war crime. It just beyond belief.
Mar 10, 2022 @ 05:38:40
It hurts to watch the news. I do my best to avoid it.

What is happening in Ukraine is beyond wrong.
Mar 10, 2022 @ 10:21:36
Yes indeed it is and we must all do everything we can to stop it whatever the consequences! Also we must not forget all the other refugees from all the other wars….what awful times we live in . Be safe 💜💜

I have seen war my dear friend. The poor people in the way of war. Where do they go? The world must stand as one my dear friend for Ukraine,
Mar 10, 2022 @ 10:25:12
Thank you so much for spreading the word John. I understand you have seen war, my brother has too. I am grateful for the reblog and like you I agree we must stand United for The Ukraine and all refugee’s.

If we don’t. Look at history. Germany took Poland and they kept on going. Europe should have great concern. You are welcome dear friend.
Mar 10, 2022 @ 12:43:05
Believe me John we are concerned, sadly Putin is of the same ilk as Hitler an evil bully. You take care too.💜
Mar 10, 2022 @ 12:55:58
With new media. Can’t hide what Putin is doing. Whole world need to be concerned my dear friend. You have some fun and take care.
Mar 10, 2022 @ 13:26:37
Yes indeed, and you too 💜
Mar 10, 2022 @ 13:49:33
I am my dear friend. Now the leaders must be. USA waited for many years in WW1 and WW2. If the world gathered and fought as one quickly. How many lives could of been saved. Many countries disappointed in the USA. I believe the European countries are strong. Don’t mess with the sleeping giants.
Mar 10, 2022 @ 14:40:30
Yes indeed there is a lot of dragging feet in all governments. If we’re up to the people a lot more would be done sooner! Be safe 💜
