Raqqa

Raqqa 

Three years its inhabitants lived in tyranny 
of ISIS and its fanatical religion a hard place where
smoking cigarettes were punished with death.
To get rid of the occupier the USA air force carpet
bombed the city, and we do not know how
many civilians this caused, how many children?
We have no number, no estimate after all it was 
for a good cause, the ISIS was eradicated as was 
The town and when the survivors understand 
the full the extent of the American bombing they 
will have no reason to rejoice.
