The Choice

My sweet Ukraine!
It's all in vain,
What can I say?
We are betrayed
by politicians, voting, polls,
by the trespassers we all know.
We scream within: Save our souls.
We, high and dry, still high and low.
 But do we really have no chance
 to take a sweeter taste of life?
 For we prefer new bitter ends
 or eating peppers, salt and chive.
With Hobson's choices of a few,
we are so glad of being blind
that which is bitter to endure
we'll not be able to remind.
 I wish we'd build a paradise
 and run full chisel just to move
 with feeling glad of being nice.
 Lord! Is it difficult to do?

"Lord, is it difficult to do?"
No, man, it isn't... but for few :):):)

You are among the rest of folks
Who harm themselves in evening talks :(:(:(

I'm kidding, buddy. Don't take it so hard. Your lines are impressive and you deserve applaude indeed. I wonder if it happens this life...

Thanks a lot, bud ;)
I don't usually take any words really hard, at least I hope so :)

"I wonder if it happens this life..."
I don't know and I don't, actually, care :)

Sincerely yours :))
