Colours

These are the beginnings of a song for Ukraine: (you'll have to scroll down)

Colours

Yellow blue sunflower sky

Mother country father child

Land home time grown

tongue faith life space

White blue red snow sky blood

Mother history father child

hammer sickle

power mad power's death

Nations watch

Eggshell step,

Scarce is breath

Kyiv is born subway floor

redsoaked car blown out door

interpreter weeps words

resolute hope in vain

Myth still holds David and

Goliath meet stainéd field

stands, defends giant slain

reality: Mother's pain.

Just one more

Goddamned thing

scarce my breath

Yellow blue white blue red

life is dear dead is dead.

Yellow blue fire is nigh

but child will grow sunflower sky
