Pleas From Aleppo
Elitism spins like tops in hollow air,
Hypocrisy and hoax their hands deploy;
The world observes with feigned and fleeting care,
While innocents lament, bereft of joy.
Hashtags blaze bright, yet yield no lasting aid,
Selective sympathy fades with the dawn;
Bloodthirsty fanatics in shadows played,
Fueled by greed and ideologies drawn.
A cacophony of silenced cries,
Too sublime for a shift in hearts or laws;
They die in dust beneath indifferent skies,
And hope lies shattered while the world withdraws.
Yet let our conscience rise and break the chains,
Or Aleppo’s blood will seep through endless plains.
