Matthew Anish Poet Verse

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"

Demetrios Trifiatis December 28, 2016 at 5:40 AM Matthew, my friend, God bless you for caring! Unfortunately the lives of the people matters so little for those in power! A seven!
