LAMENTATION FOR SYRIA
Oh
Syria, Syria!
What
have you done?
Murdering
young citizens,
Women
and children?
Armless,
defenseless and helpless:
Pounding
the city into rubbles
Turning
it into ghost land.
Feeding
fat on the blood of
The
innocent, invading the land like
A
stranger:
Oh
Syria! Won’t peace reign?
Children
in rubbles crying,
Helpless,
others dead!
What
have they done?
What
buildest thou O Syria?
Have
you not fed enough?
Won’t
there be peace?
See
the anguish of your children!
Wail,
Syria! Mourn for your days
are
numbered.
The
end to wickedness!
Can’t
you see the blood spill?
Women
turned widows!
Children
turned orphans!
With
their blood wilt thou purchase
Power?
Whence
art thine humanity?
The
land cried while thou dine
And
wine with thine allies!
Thou
dines and wines whilst the
Land
groans.
Be in
solitude, hear the noise.
Not
bleating of sheep but cries of
Anguish
which thou unleash
On
thine children as they wonder
What
their crime was!
Syria
is torn apart and the world
Look
away.
The gluttonous
leaders who are
Never
satisfied. Constantly feast
On
the blood of the innocent while
The
world wine and dine and look away
As if
nothing is happening!
Is
this life?
Is
this humanity?
Think!
Think!! Think!!!
Oh
Syria!
