Sporadically, language falls short of the lasting mark To instantly share awe-inspiring testimonies and remark Appalling atrocities of war and unfathomed sorrow Millions of people are on the hunt for a wheel-barrow This loaded backpack was previously packed for a trip It is, however, currently being utilized as an escape tip Their humble lodging is becoming increasingly narrow We pray they will be clung to unite like a bow and arrow They're laboriously dragging their burden along the street It is extremely beneficial to deliver water and buckwheat For their active life, they will keep an eye on the sparrow And won't utterly work behind the plow and harrow

Such a morass of human misery -- if Russia and Washington would deign to feel it for even a moment, the war would stop. But nooooooooo. Great write, Lasaad!

How I wish this war is stopped, but I fear it will expand.
