Under a red moon hidden by the sky
Killings of innocents continue still
Reminding all who remember the sty
Afforded those not being pigs with skill
Insidious derision from each side
Negating the present with future past
Enveloping each corpse with love that died
Under the harbingers of a big blast
Kindred spirits with small holes in their souls
Renegade from justice and world order
Attacking short lives with death and controls
Inflicting sorrow at every border
No more bombs for blood facing Babi Yar*
Even the nuked dead are showing the scar

* The site of the massacres ordered by the Nazis in Kyiv during their campaign against the Soviet Union in World War Two. The first and best documented of these massacres occurred on September 29-30, 1941, when around 33,771 Jews were murdered. Nowadays, too many ignorant and disgusting people want to assassinate Jews again.
