NaPoWriMo day 5

 First word acrostic of Testament 

Taras Shevchenko, 25 December 1945

When the war is done and 

I am found dead as dead can be. Then I 

am one with all that was done and 

dead so my bones hold no flesh.

Bury them wrapped in a uniform worn by

me in a ridiculous war;

in the defense of country,

my home, my history lost. My 

beloved shall cry no more for 

Ukraine because she shall cradle me.
