Russia Violates Ukraine, 4
Every leaf is divine
Essential, precious, love-filled
Every leaf speaks
Truth, wonder, light
Every leaf equal
Every leaf falls
Becomes food for its tree
Every soldier is divine
Essential, precious, love-filled
Every soldier speaks
Killing
Every soldier equal
Every soldier may fall
Blood feeding earth
A bullet kills us all the same
A bomb obliterates us all the same
Imagine ending
As tiny fragments scattered
As leaf debris
