Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

Best comment on this I’ve seen so far is “rapist says Ukraine shouldn’t have worn such a short skirt.”

Putin insisting on elections in another country, when he hasn’t had anything approaching a fair election in his own country in years. Yet more irony atop of irony. He has a long track record of interfering and manipulating elections to get an outcome he wants, in foreign countries and his own.
