Ukraine
I am watching the news
about the valiant people of Ukraine
and find myself crying
that I cannot take a stand.
Never in my lifetime was there such a time.
This is a historic time;
when good people rise up
against tyranny and fear
no matter the cost
and I am old and can barely stand.
Never has anything
thrown my life of ease,
comfort and selfishness
back in my face so starkly.
May Ukraine prevail. May Putin go to Hell!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
