"A Call for Peace and Unity: An Open Letter to My Russian Schoolmates from Odessa"

Oh, dear schoolmates from Odessa City,

Let's find some laughter and not feel any pity,

Humor can bring levity in tough times,

And help us find some peace of mind.

As proud residents of the humor capital of the world,

Let's keep our spirits high and our laughter unfurled,

And not allow this strife to cause division,

Instead, let's strive for peace and unity with a clear vision.

We share a connection to Ukraine, our home,

Let's be patriotic and not let the conflict roam,

Our love for Odessa City should unite us with no discrepancies,

Regardless of our different backgrounds and ethnicities.

For Ukraine desires freedom and independence,

Let's respect their aspirations and avoid any hindrance,

The Soviet Union's confinement and oppression,

Should not impede their progress or expression.

Let Odessa City live free from any restraint,

And work towards a future where peace and harmony reign,

So, dear schoolmates, let's stand together,

And work towards a future that's bright forever.

Where laughter, peace, and unity shine,

And our love for Odessa City stands the test of time.
