A poem for peace.

A poem for peace. | Those of us who support Ukraine do not want to see Russia perish. Russia is indelibly part of world history, and our world. You may as well try to imagine the night sky without the Big Dipper. In the heat of battle, in the fog of war, it can be difficult to imagine a different future. Imagine we must. With the aid of memory, imagining is easier. For a better future looks like the not-so-distant past. For not long ago, Russia and Ukraine were like neighbors, working together. Brothers: traversing invisible borders to hunt, traveling back over the same ground with full arms. Sisters: shopping in St. Petersburg, getting married in Kharkiv, sunning themselves somewhere along the Black Sea. Children’s faces: laughter, mischief, at play anywhere. Couples growing old together, on familiar land whose boundaries were forgotten long ago: walking side-by-side. Hand in hand. | image tagged in russia ukraine dove,russia ukraine heart | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

While I hope Ukraine wins this war, I don't want to see Russia wiped out, just for the country and it's people to get a new government.
Again, I don't want to see Russia wiped off the map, but I'd probably be happy if Ukraine takes Putin's head. The Russian government is the problem. The lie to they're people, and use them as pawns.

(I'm not saying the west doesn't do that to some degree, I'm just saying that countries Russia do it to no end. In Russia, if you're not part of the elite, you're just a tool of the government.)

I'm hoping that when this is all over, Ukraine and Russia can eventually mend their relations, like with Germany and Poland. It's possible, but there will always be scars.
