【Mr. Putin and 136 White Storks】
By Tian Yu Zhi
Mr. Putin, you have a handsome boy
As I do, they are about the same age
I have a suggestion for you
Let’s swap our boys for a week
Mr. Putin, I present you my son, Mykola
Along with all my love and hope for him
He is not crying or acting out anymore
He doesn’t wet his bed anymore
Beneath the sheet, he stays still
Like a patch of grass from a harsh winter,
Heavy spring rain pours over it
But it won’t come back green
Please let him sleep next to you, each night
Tell him a story as you would to your own boy
Tell him why you send troops to his hometown
Tell him why it worths millions of lives, and his life
His skin turns pale day by day, on the 7th day
He turns into a white stork, and flies away
I will do the same to your son, Mr. Putin
After one week, you and I have a
Father-to-father conversation. Since Feb 24th,
One in two Ukrainian children was displaced
136 children have died, 200 injured
Your countable nights left in this world
Will be spent with them, this way
2022.3.24
*White stork is the national bird of Ukraine. 白鹤是乌克兰的国鸟.
