New poem : "Worth Dying For"

 

Worth Dying For

“I’m not afraid of dying,” said

the bombed city mayor’s brother

who had returned to his native land

from the United States to defend

Ukraine from Vladimir Putin’s war

of aggression. “I’m more afraid

of losing,” added the bearded man,

with fire in his eyes, as he spoke

for the soul of his people who had

suffered under the Soviet regime

long enough to realize that personal

freedom was worth dying for.
