Song For Aleppo

Horrors inflicted on innocent civilians and children That is what is happening in Aleppo today Babies buried in rubble As the "White Helmets" rush to protect the victims What manner of men can do things like this to people? Where are their souls? Let's pray the bombings end soon So the death toll does not rise any higher All is not lost! Peace must flow like a mighty river If humanity wishes to continue Surely an era of co - operation will arrive "The darkest hour is just before the dawn"

this is such a shameful thing. I echo Demetrios. God bless you for caring so much.

Matthew, my friend, God bless you for caring! Unfortunately the lives of the people matters so little for those in power! A seven!
