“The outcome of this war matters to all of us. The principle that countries can’t steal land from their neighbours is fundamental to the post-1945 settlement. Weaken that, and we open a Pandora’s box of future conflicts. We have to remain engaged.”

Good morning! We have one more peek at Undone 51 today. What happens when an observation of children's toys turns to exploring the push-pull between societal norms and a free expression of the individual? "Green" happens, one of 4 poems from Aaron G. H. coming at you Sunday!
