You the murderer
For Syria we mourn
All the children fleeing
Killed by the bullet
Raped by the land
In which they were born
Time has not healed
Souls in a holocaust
Stones for the masses
Words on graves
That cannot speak
You the murderer
That fling humanity across
Across death's way,
Ugly is the truth
That you spread into a child's heart
Rivers of blood stream
Fires storm furnace
Talons clutch the living
Dropping humanity into the hole
The hole of suffering
Pray for this child who flees
Her parents lay dead
Her sister is crying
Her dog is limping
Her dreams are gone
For Syria we mourn

Thanks Rice Cake for highlighting the issues of the world - poetry can say so much
I wrote this about Syria and a place close to my heart there Maaloula
ROSYRIA
A rosary of olive pits
A prayer of Maaloula
One stone, kindness
One stone, love, another grace
Another joy.
A cross: a salvation.
Take me to the grave of St.Tekla
This virgin raped and freshly dead
Tied by a chain,
Now violence, now hatred, stolen,
Now anger, now fear
Cut our tongues.
Creating our martyrs,
To remind us of a peace
Neglected beside us
Reflected in water.
Tih-teh mal-chootukh
Your kingdom is come.
