Pleas From Aleppo

An elitism set awhirl like a spinning top Buoyed in hypocritical double standards and flimsy hoax A nuisance that seems to never stop And the world Is stage staggering in its hazards and coax In constrained selective sympathy and nuance As the pressed lurk in their solemn withering plight And the hashtags and social media rage made no functional relevance Whiles sentiments and selective sympathies fade overnight Accompanied by lukewarm solidarity as it always been Yet blood thirsty fanatics hide behind elitism to perpetrate unbelievable crimes Fuelled by greed and damned ideologies obscene And the aftermath,A cacophony of unheard bestrewn voices too sublime for a shift in paradigm And they cry in the dirt and dust yet we care less So they live to die another day in their darkness and hopeless distress

Thanks Mate. Its such a shame most people don't care about what is going on there, but in the end we are all humans and this rests on us to help bring this madness to an end.

Too bad it's become political chess for world leaders who don't really care about the humans suffering from their game.

It really is a shame what is happening in Syria. Very good write. Depressing, but well expressed.
