The Syrian Uprising

 As I had promised to come back to The Syrian Crisis. Excerpt II.


Altruistic debacle to say the least
irreproachable civilians on the streets
armless they are, butchered mercilessly
dire footprint on adjoining kingdoms
millions of Syrians snivel
seek for justice and squeal for help
System's vicious crackdown
as everyone was taken aback


Tranquil protests were at halt
rebels clashed against system's ideas
Syrians were armless no more
began the assault-an act of intrepidity
Islamism and secularists became misnomers
two million martyrs, one indiscreet idea
internal displacement of innocent lives
refugees at every corner
refugees escaped across the borders
young men abducted to fight for regime


Nights became bloody and catastrophic
civilians were often shot at by snipers
Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq are home to many
for they might break under excruciating strain
children,women and old-none of them were
a count of demise increasing every year
the unrest state of the Syrian uprising
still agitates the rest of the kingdom
