Irreversibly broken
This world that exists
The pain, the sorrow
Never seems to desist
A city laid waste
People groan goodbye
Knowing today
Or tomorrow they die
Hopeless, helpless
No end in sight
Terror of violence
Pervades day and night
Bloodied bodies
Cover the ground
Others trapped
No hope to be found
Haunting, deafening
Terrible cries
Rise through rubble
Echo through skies
Fathers wailing
The loss of their sons
Mothers hiding
Daughters from guns
Stricken, Stunned
With nothing to say
We watch in horror
Far, far away
Hearts breaking
Nowhere to go
We cry “Have mercy—
God save Aleppo!”
So very true and heartbreaking, too. I don’t complain so much anymore; especially when I find that things could be worse. Happy New Year.

The indictment of everyone from Obama to Putin- and a special dark star upon the brow of Bashar al-Assad.

Hearts breaking,
In helplessness we cry,
In desperation we pray..
