A thousand cuts
For each child that dies
A thousand cuts
For every women's cry
A thousand cuts
For each man at war
A thousand cuts
For all the land you seized

Look into my eyes
What do you see
Ukraine is determined
To remain free
💙💛

Blue for sky
Gold for corn
Flying high
With pride
And resistance

White
For hope of return
Black
For those still missing
Flying high
To remember
The prisoners of war
💙💛

Today day 1320 since the full scale invasion of Ukraine
Let's not forget
It was russia that invaded Ukraine
Let's not forget
It's Russia that attacks daily with drones and missiles
Let's not forget
Ukraine has no options but to fight
Don't forget Ukraine

Today 1315 days since the full scale invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine still isn't russia and never will be💙💛

Autumn brings
Attacks on infrastructure
Designed to demoralise
And kill civilians

And what do we do
Watch!
Houses burn
Families shattered

And we say
How terrible
How awful
How bad
And now some people
Don't even watch!
💙💛

Hands of horse chestnuts
Dropping
Waving
Curling
To the ground
Thump!
Conkers fall

This could be anywhere
But this is Kyiv
Trees living life.

As powerful as war is
It doesn't stop
The turn of the earth
It doesn't stop the seasons
Or the desire for life
💙💛

1310 days since the start of Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine
Each day
Full of pain
Full of loss
Full of tragedy
Now let this be a time of hope
That Ukraine gets the support they need

You fall asleep
Drifting drifting drifting
Dreaming
The war is resolved
The skies are clear
Peace is restored

The alarm screams
Reality returns
Missiles and bombs
And drones
Test the air defences
Destruction moments away

Faceless mechanised spiders
Developed with a terrible bite
Designed to chase
Designed to bomb

Ukraine is fighting back
With spiders of their own
Not dropping bombs
But instead dropping nets
To catch drones in their web

Putin goes to China
Trump says and does nothing
Meanwhile in Ukraine
Russia pushes at the frontline
In Kherson
First person view drones
Practice killing civilians
Elsewhere
Missiles still fall
The war rages on
As strong as ever

So many numbers
Flash across our screens
But behind each number
Are homes destroyed
Families broken
Lives lost
Peace still no closer

Independence day
Free from soviet repression
Freedom to speak
Freedom to be Ukrainian
The fight continues
This is the cost today

1/2
Every sinew
Wants peace
Every person
Wants the war to end
But everyone agrees
Not at any cost

Everyone is tired
Weary of air raids
Weary of drones
Weary of loss
Time for it to stop
But not at any cost
