Ukraine is bleeding
The world is screaming
Tempers rise
When a missile flies

Greetings, toughest teacher
Hear me loud and clear
And don’t expect me to mince words

To climb the ladder
I set the pace
For the race

With their money-making machine
When their stubborn... – by Francis Boakye | 5 Views added 2 years ago
