He is now living in a ghetto . . . : (

Dance
I used to dance
when I had legs
I used to smile
when I had lips
I was from Aleppo
now I am from hospital
My country is gone
my heart is gone
If I had arms
I could paint my pain
Inside my mind
sometimes I still dance

Serene Putin

Aleppo: Toxic State
When finally he falls asleep
He skims along from dream to dream
Across his face a smile then creeps
He finds himself beside a stream
Where flowers bloom and sparrows cheep
Caressed by warm comforting beams
He feels serene in slumber deep
Then all at once wakes with a scream
As bombs explode and children weep
Aborted peace ... a shattered dream....

Rhyme
When Two Worlds Collide
Sitting still in a car,looking out
And listening within
A bright blue wintry sky punctuated
With land mines
Soft sunshine painting roofs
Amid the shattered ruins of Aleppo
Undressed trees coated with a silvery frost
And the pain of wounded children
A quiet peace broken
By the fusillade of firepower
Birds flutter
While shells burst overhead
Two worlds apart
Combined in one person
Listening and watching
Serenity and insanity
Incongruously together....
