To Orb Sparta Motorola

To Orb Sparta Motorola

(The late Commander of the Donbas Region, Arseny Pavlov)
By Tatiana Pahlen

I took the last tear as a bullet
Which left my heart ‘paralyzed,’
After the hero of Donbas
Fell prey to a diversion attack.

My life can’t be any longer
Be senseless or care free;
I’m mourning you, Motorola,
Praying for your young kids.

Your life was targeted; you were lucky,
Avoiding the blast of your car,
That brought blessings in your family,
A newborn boy – Makar

You died as a man of honor
Three days after holding your son;
Your happiness didn’t last
The legend that everyone loved;
Sadly, your life was entrusted
To those, who triggered the bomb
