KIEV
Cry out Ukraine
Russia,
against the old refrain,
even the last poor Jews
after pogroms
massacres. exiled, expelled
are not to blame,
who are refuseniks to violence,
Keep not silence, children of Chelm,
you who rebelled, yelled
or whispered against them
not to forget Babi Yar,
the murders under the czar
the doctors of the commisar
oh grandmother
Oh grandfather,
you too were exiled
Oh risen red star
over Bethlehem,
send out wise men
bless and restore
no more persecution
no more retaliation
no more war
