We are all Kyiv

 We are all Kyiv


The world has reached a turning point

Left or right, no reaching back

To familiar paths now obliterated 

By Putin’s tanks and artillery shells. 


It’s forward only to the kingdom 

The untraced path to a foreign land

The genie’s out and will not return

History’s gear moves forward only. 


So do we grasp the future and dominate?

Or do we stumble timid and unwilling

To shape the future? And decide

What kind of world we will preserve?


The shells are raining down on Kyiv

Early this sunny morning 

Before we even wake and greet a day

What terrors face those who stay?


People of Kyiv are in our thoughts 

We shall not forget but witness

Their courage that has inspired us

So today we proudly stand and state. 


We are all Kyiv
