War poetry

 dulce et decorum est*


The battle for this 
strategically and symbolically crucial objective 
has reduced the formerly state-of-the-art air hub to ruins,

"A major battle is taking place at  airport. 
Blasts can be heard and jets dot the sky.
Many Donbas residents followed the battle on 
Facebook. The Illusion of Tranquility

'' who is guarding the airport in
 we haven't been able to dislodge them 
for the past three months. 
We tried storming the complex 
but each time we are repulsed and 
forced to withdraw, no idea who is 
defending the airport 
but they are not people. 
They are cyborgs.
They, Legend of the Cyborgs,
 airborn succeeded in repelling 
wave after wave of attacks. 
The cyborgs' themselves responded modestly 
to their new status and claimed 
to be simply doing their duty. We saw that the insurgents 
were suffering tremendous
losses but we weren't able to keep track 
of the exact numbers and a airport gained i
n symbolic importance, But the battle was 
no longer being fought for the airport, but rather for its ruins. 

The remarkable defence of the Airport 
has already passed into folklore, 
while the defenders themselves 
have become known simply as cyborgs. 

The grudging praise of their enemies 
has helped to cement the place 
of these defenders in the national psyche, 
providing a boost to morale during 
one of the darkest moments in the country's history.
