Gruesome rape and torment in Ukraine
Causing women and children agonising pain.
Horrific headlines curdles one to the bone.
Russian soldiers have no hearts of their own.
Can’t they leave the innocent alone?
Women like prisoners tied to a chain,
Gory details of Women and babies raped
There’s no escape.
Only pain.
Bodies of women and children everywhere.
Rape is a weapon of war.
The innocent have no sword or spear.
Only the bloody scar.
Soldiers strangle them with hatred,
Is this why you were created?
Innocent lives are wasted.
There’s nothing sacred.
How can this evil be tolerated?

Take ownership of UN-aligned

Unlike most organisations, UN-aligned is, primarily, its members. We are the New United Nations and though just a drop in the ocean, for now, we will carry on growing until we will become a force to be reckoned with!The more of us there are, the more chance we have of achieving our aims. Help us by promoting membership to you friends or to people you think have similar values. If every member added another, membership would snowball and we would be unstoppable!We also need active members: people who roll up their sleeves and contribute to the work of the organisation. Some already have, for instance, by writing articles for The Gordian, or offering to help with proofreading.

No matter what you can do, we want you. Write to us with your talents and we’ll make it work.
