Syria's Agony
The fight for Syrian democracy,
And in great peril roll your cameras
So that the world at large can watch and see
Homs- Syria's dread Zero Ground,
Annihilation and destruction bound.
A view that story narrative defies,
A view of suffering,of grief and pain
Does paralize the willing poet's pen.
Horrendous view - So far beyond belief,
Of so much torment sufferig and grief.
The world looks on consuming gypsywort.
Shells fly and killer rockets zoom
'Gainst helpless orphans crowded in a room
No food- the government is in control
That has no heart, no conscience and no soul.
With Ammunition by Iran supplied.
New rounds of bombs and flying shrapnel bring
Without respite increasing suffering.,
Unfolding horror and new tragedy
Brews behind scenes, but none can run and flee.
No medicines, the doctors were all killed.
A patient makes faint signals with the eyes,
For help - invain,- than turns around and dies.
The broken shards of erstwhile windows clink.
And bloody rags soak in a kitchen sink.
And stink in a deserted city lane.
Its trunk or corpse lies somewhere on a cot
In unattended agonzing pain.
'Homs is the worst' the brave reporters tell
A replica indeed on earth of hell'
The air of massacre and slaughtering
Help bring the arch fiend to his knees
And ring the bell, the News Bell ring! ring! ring !
May God Almighty piety Syria,
And many a far-off country's suffering land
That share with Him the pains of Gogatha,
And for their comfort an archangel send.

This is another excellent
This is another excellent write. The story so sad
someone must step in and help these helpless people.
This is inhumane for a government to kill it's people
in this manner. May God Almighty intervene and stop
this brutality. heather
