Just because a madman wants to involve you in his madness, there is no reason for you to give in and take part in the chaos. Your title says it all with clarity, resist, resist, resist!

Once again, the cost of freedom is taking a high toll. So many innocent people are being killed. It is a great tragedy. It is getting harder to listen to the news and hear about things that are getting even worse. Thank you for bringing added attention to this terrible situation.

    Spangle, thank you, I do want to keep a face on this not statistics - the plight of these families and especially the children whose psyches are forever tainted are all children of God in harms way. so very sad indeed!

    Your thoughts are absolutely true. The children surviving such a situation will have its dark details in their minds for their whole life. PTSD will be much too prevalent in days to come. I used to run a program assisting the homeless and their personal life events are a big factor in their present and future existence. This is a crucial time for all humanity.

Well said in a few short words, and yes, it is important to add faces to humanise the suffering and the tragedy of what is happening. Timely and relevant. Best wishes for your entry.

"Ukrainian nation
fight with resolve and inspiration!
Reject this Putin's power fixation"
Great entry for the contest. I admire the Ukrainian people for their resistance and pray this conflict will soon come to an end.

    I have such utter respect for them to resist this tyrant and cleave unto the cloak of God and pray for his judgement day to come sooner to Putin than later.

A very well-stated and powerful poem in just 25 syllables.
While they are outnumbered and likely to lose, the Ukrainians have shown the world that democracy is worth fighting for. In their resistance, they have shown Putin that they are not easily defeated.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes
Mary

    Mary thank you! I can not help but put a face to this travesty - these people, I believe, only want what Gods ideal purpose for all mankind is and that is to live in Peace and Love and give service back to their neighbors in kind.

Powerful words here and I love the encouragement to fight back and reject Putin's invasion. I expect the fighting will take a while and there will be much loss of life, love Dolly x

A very sad and tragic event which could trigger a World War 3. It should not have happened. Well descriptive and written. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. Good luck in the contest!

Yes, this is great. Those people live in pure hell. This is so wrong. These people cannot feel safe on the street or house. They are no different than slaves or prisoners of war. He is no different from Hitler. What a shame.

    Carolyn, sadly, this is so! Tyrants seem to repeat historically and the world always suffers at the hands of foolishness greed and power.
