SHELVES

Stores close early.
The man walks
Searching 
For the open door.
He finds it and is happy.
There is still food in the shops.
What if the war drags on?
Doors are still open.
However,
The shelves
Are empty.

ПОЛИЦІ

Магазини закриваються рано.
Чоловік ходить
Пошук
Для відкритих дверей.
Він знаходить і щасливий.
У магазинах ще є продукти.
А якщо війна затягнеться?
Двері ще відкриті.
однак,
Полиці
Порожні.

I think Finland might be the next one in the teeth of the beast. It has happened before and might be the case again. The reader can imagine the man of the poem as someone who walks in Kyiv or, if the worst comes for us, here in Finland.

I apologizes for my potential errors in the Ukrainian poem version.

The Winter War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Winter War,[F 6] also known as the First Soviet-Finnish War, was a war between the Soviet Union and Finland. The war began with a Soviet invasion of Finland on 30 November 1939, three months after the outbreak of World War II, and ended three and a half months later with the Moscow Peace Treaty on 13 March 1940.

Hunting Nazis Again

Schutzcor1940
A Soviet propaganda postcard from 1940 saying ”the fascist dog growls” in reference to the Finnish White Guard (Шюцкор), the paramilitary forces that had a role in defeating the socialist Reds during the Finnish Civil War. Picture from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In Ukraine, Russians are hunting nazis in 2022, and they did the same thing in Finland in 1939.
