Let’s Not Forget Syria #2
I think we all know, what we as individuals should all be doing .. but swiftly
When it hit
it hit without warning
and it hit
big time, so big in fact
all the bloody
clocks stopped
in nearby Lebanon ..
And at the last count
they say at least
eighteen thousand
innocent
souls were lost ..
Does anyone
anywhere know or care
or dare to think
just how many dreams
that cost ..
How much love
how much history
and how much hope
was brushed aside
in just over
57.00079 seconds ..
And all that before
the aftershocks kicked in ..

Thank goodness someone is writing about it. Nothing escapes you Nev and I love that about you. You have such a beautiful awareness, that cannot ignore the plight of any living thing. Thanks for this, it needed to be said xx
Hiya me lovely .. as you seem to have guessed, this is another one o them I feel very strongly about .. Sadly, Syria is one of the most beautiful countries on this planet of ours .. I drove through it from the Lebanon the year we had a bad outbreak of foot n mouth .. not me by the way but our cattle) ..
Poor old Syria is also one of the most undervalued and misunderstood countries .. a friend of mine contacted me just after the first quake and told me that 80 of her fellow villagers had lost their lives even before that first aftershock hit .. I shall probably continue to say it for quite some time yet ... xx
