Our nation is divided
But we have been able
To survive in a reasonable
Way, except for those who
Use criminal ways to proclaim
Their displeasure with things
While never doing anything
To improve condition for
Themselves of others causing
Many people to suffer, but
Nothing like the people of
Ukraine have suffered
Their culture is different
From ours with fathers
Choosing a man for his
Daughter to marry, giving
The man the right to beat
And scold the daughter at
Will, leaving her distraught
Seemingly with no way out
Of the undesirable situation
Many of the women turned
To religion and found solace
There. Many time the man
Found religion for himself
Peace in the family resulted
And thanksgiving to the
Almighty took place. They
Were blind, but now they see
His light overcame the darkness
Faith prevailed followed by
Gratefulness and thanksgiving
