Young Ukrainian soldier recites a verse from a poem before battle

The poem, addressed to a lover, asks who will tell you the news of my death?




At times I wonder
Who will tell you the news of my death?
That moment when you hear of my death
from someone
I wish I could see your beautiful face

Shrugging your shoulders
waving your hands
it's not important
"Wow. He died? How sad!"
I wish I could see

I ask myself
who will believe
that the fire of your love
burnt the jungle of my soul
--Hamid Mosadegh
