Yeah--as I was saying to duathir at greatpoets, where I posted this poem a few days ago--
Yeah...a post about recent events made me recall the poem, and surprisingly, it'd not been posted to this comm before, nor have I posted it to my LJ before.
As to the post--it was someone reposting a post from VKontakte from a young woman who said how heartbroken she was b/c her uncle/stepfather died in the current conflict in Ukraine--"he was such a sweet person, wouldn't hurt a fly! He only enlisted there b/c he needed money to pay for his child's medical treatment"
*Sigh* bit different, I know, but the same motif, isn't it?
