6 schools destroyed each day

6 educational facilities destroyed each day

In the minimum

3,790 educational facilities destroyed

From February 24th 2022

To November 12th 2023

The war machinery is raging on

With no end in sight

The number of school collapsed rises

This is in Ukraine alone

Mike Tyson once said

Even your enemy has a plan

So some number of schools

Might have been hit

Might have been destroyed

In Russia as well

As the two tussle it out

Talk however Ukraine

Where lenses of observation

Have been focused

A terrible trend trounces out

Of the instruments of destruction

Of instruments used in the destruction

Of schools

A pattern so familiar

A pattern so familiarly deployed

Elsewhere in the world

In situations where hate and hurt

Share a mind of a mindless mover

So determined and preselected

  • aerial attacks
  • artillery shelling
  • rocket strikes
  • cluster munitions
  • looting and pillaging

In the end

When the children of the destroyed schools

When students of the destroyed schools

Grow up into hardened revenge seekers

• For their lost toys

• For their lost early friendships

• For their lost dreams

The whole world suffers or who does?

The war between Ukraine and Russia

All options for peace.

To end this war.

Must be sought.

Peace in Ukraine Peace in Russia
