I have the feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better.
ReplyDeleteI wrote the following at our Independence Day for an overseas friend who wanted to understand a bit more of our history.
ReplyDeleteIt might feel a bit out of context in this situation, yet I just wished to share it with you:
Remember, oh remember
the sixth of December;
and the year was 1917,
when was seen
the long desired liberation
of our nation.
On the first steps of Fatherland's path
we faced the civil war – The Brethren Wrath.
Then in 1939 came the Shelling of Mainila, Stalin's ruse;
false flag operation, warmonger's excuse.
So started the Winter War, followed by Continuation
and in both fiercely fought our young nation.
There is no tale or song that could tell
all the sorrows of those days of hell;
so we remember in the dawning light,
as we raise our flag of blue and white
all those women and men
who fought for this country back then.
Giving the ultimate sacrifice,
paying the highest price,
they kept us independent and free
from the oppressing tyranny.
Theirs is our undying gratitude,
for they saved us from servitude.
So remember, oh remember
the sixth of December.
First the pandemic, now the war. I don't know if these years are more incredible, or the 70 years of peace after the Second World War.
ReplyDeleteThe irony is that Sweden and Finland wouldn't even be thinking about joining NATO, were it not for Putin invading Ukraine and showing what can happen to neighbors of Russia who aren't in NATO.
ReplyDeleteMistress - I have that same feeling.
ReplyDeletePreacher - That is a very nice poem. It took me a while to learn its references.
Xersex - They're both incredible.
Infidel753 - Putin lied to Ukraine and he's lying to the rest of the world.
Thank you, sir.
ReplyDeleteVous pensez que les Russes se méferaient davantage des Finlandais et de leurs sisu.
