           【We Are Ukrainians】

 




 

                By Tian Yu Zhi


 



 

7:30am in the morning, the time of 

Waking up from the aroma of coffee 

Freshly baked bread, Children head to school 

Tourists gather in the square, marvel at 

The beauty of golden domes

But today, they wake up from missile blasts,

Air raid sirens, explosions, tanks roaring 

Full scale invasion from the Russians and Belarus 

 

 


A group of Ukrainians gather in the square 

They kneel down and pray 

The stones are hard cold, just as the heart of 

Invaders, crossing from Russian Belarus borders 

As well as from Crimea

I kneel down with you, thousands miles away 

Pray that you are not harmed, my Ukrainian friends 

 

 

 

Praying seems to be the only thing 

The weak and innocent can do 

When hooligans and bullies come straight at us

But do believe, there is justice for everything 

Our calls will be answered for, sooner or later

Victory awaits, "We Are Ukrainians"

 

 


Enemies, look up to the sky, it is coming 

 


 

 

                 2022.2.24 morning 

 

 

* My thoughts are with my academic friends in Ukraine.
I was one of the foreign experts for their Academy of Banking 
for many years. Nice group of people.

谢谢盈盈!抛开大国间的geopolitics和为自己在史书上争位的权力疯子不谈,战争中最苦的是老百姓。
