Blood Brothers

​

​

​​While Ukraine heroes struggle on

Through winter snow and mud

Trump is planning handshake

With Putin drenched in blood

Bombs still rain from out the skies

And families live in fear

But when peace talks are started

Zelensky's nowhere near

Washington and Moscow

Deciding others fate

One's set sight on Nobel prize

The other's fuelled by hate

America once symbolised

Democracy's pure aim

Now capitulation

Will bring shame to its name

And Europe's on the sidelines

With leaders left perplexed

All knowing that if Russia wins

Their countries could be next.
