How Dare We
how dare we
with smug and patronizing remarks
assuage our sorrow at their expense
how dare we
ask Russia do
what we dare not do ourselves
how dare we
not recognize justice
for an evil so blatant
how dare we
insult our neighbours
in their hour of grief
how dare we
presume to know what is best
who's children still breath
how dare we
not weep
