Mariupol before and after the war: the destruction left after the russian invasion.

POETS IN TEARS
The true extent of the horror is hard to uncover.
The true existence of the hellhole is hard to uncover.
Telliing as her eyes water.
She fled Mariupol just two weeks ago.
With the help of her daughter.
“Dead bodies everywhere.
People were lying near every house.
No one took them away.”
Telliing as her eyes water.
“Everything is lost for everyone.
Hopelessness. Fear. Pain.”
Tears begin to stream down her face.
“Almost every family has lost someone close to them.”
“No one has taken out the rubbish since the beginning of the war.”
“We drained and drank water from the boiler.
From heating systems.
Later, from a destroyed swimming pool.”
The true extent of the horror is hard to uncover.
The true existence of the hellhole is hard to uncover.
She reunited in Kyiv with her daughter.
A year ago she moved to the capital.
She told her mother a possible escape route.
Telling with anger and sadness.
Since the war, she’d been trying to rebuild her family.
“In fact, ‘orcs’ have destroyed three generations.”
Telling with anger and sadness.
Not only did ‘orcs’ destroy her family home.
‘Orcs’ killed her grandmother.
Telling with anger and sadness.
Twenty people she knew personally had been killed.
But the death of her beloved grandma is the hardest to bear.
The true extent of the horror is hard to uncover.
The true existence of the hellhole is hard to uncover.
With her mother and her.
But a line missing in the record.
He is the husband of her beloved grandma.
“I'm sorry, I can't talk because the tears are coming.”
Puttting his head in his hands and covering his face.
A photo of his wedding day in Mariupol in 1970.
One of the very few things his family still possess.
His face is drained of all remaining colour.
“What ‘orcs’ have done can never be forgiven.”
The true extent of the horror is hard to uncover.
The true existence of the hellhole is hard to uncover.

"Aware of a poet?
Aware of a poet?
A poet of Cossack broods over the land.
Not noting a bullet.
Not noting a bullet.
You see a poet of Cossack in Borodyanka."
