Came back from hols yesterday...and couldn't wait to get back to my art shed. These are my 2 favourites from today 💗

#vss365
Bloodlust running
Tyrant gunning
Killing civilians daily

What in hell are we doing
Distracted by wooing
Aid is not strained in the giving

So gather our forces
Review resources
Give greater help to our brothers

They're in need
Act at speed
+ Finally #recover our honour.

#vss365
Oh #cosy life
No strife
Log fire
Look no wire
Cream n coffee
Choc n toffee
No nasty bug
In snuggly rug
Hiding

Compare
If you dare
A nation under fire
Where life is dire
For brave hearts
Fighting to be part
Of the world of the free
Like you + me
Abiding

My pact
Is a fact-
I stand with them.

#vss365

There's no guarantee
That #wisdom
Will come to us
With age,
Can you even
Quantify it
On the page?
Can wise words
Help fools
When hate
Makes them drool?
Can our best sage
Help turn
The page
On genocide?
Can the wise
Take power
In corridor
And bower?

#vss365

You want horror?
Blood
Gore
#Skulls
More?
Gotcha.

But no need to make it up
All that + more besides
Resides
Where RF seeks
To kill
Ukraine

Wanna feel afraid?
Try their shoes
And choose
To help or not
To mock or not
Muskrat

For
Your cosy free
World
May yet unfurl +
Fear
Will be here.

On the edge
Slippery ledge,
Forces would pull her
Into the #chasm

Cold sweat of fear
Evil draws near,
Her weapon is faith
It's shining

Warning sounds
Heart pounds,
She sees them now
Her saviours

So she'll stand and fight
As old lady might,
Finding the tough
Inside her.

#vss365

A sinister
#Overture
To evil
Began +
Blind
We turned away
Vermin surged
Across the land
Holding satanic
Hand

But unawares
Great evil finds
Great good
And heroes did
Emerge
To begin the fight
For right

May they win the day
Whatever way
They fight
And
May it
Be soon

Here's some gelli prints in acrylic I did this month 🌹

My 🐦vss365 today/colours

Joseph had his coat
I have my moat
To say
Don't rush me
In your whim
But for him it's
Do come near
Loud + clear

But comes the day
When I may
Show my colours
A brave
New-old girl
Unfurled
Inner Joseph more
To the fore

In un-aloof
Proof
I knit
To kit
Myself
Out,
See
It's me

It's day 575 of RF's war on Ukraine.
NB, it's illegal in its premise - and in its means and methods breaks International Humanitarian Law every single day.
