Syria

The ink vanishes from poem;
Love from the lover's eyes,
Walls painted with bloodÂ
By brush made of baby's hair..
The inventor of ammunition -
Might not thought of consequences
Else science could have stopped
The bloodshed around.
Today's terror for tomorrow's territory
Gulps the innocent smile.
The burnt bodies smell like hell
Babies forget how to cry..
In the name of democracy-
The rampage goes on,
Power remains on the hand of some..
After eras when the baby will ask
What was the fault in his stars?
Frame an answer to reason your guilt
Or else ask him to wait to get an answer
From the next bloodshed around...

I think that the opening of this poem will haunt me for a very long time. And rightly so.Â
"walls painted with blood

The great power of poetry is to compress vast subjects into small lines that can hit the reader with the mass of the subject. In this case the horror of Syria.
Sir, I believe you are a true poet and one that has the bravery to comment on this world. Welcome to cosmofunnel I look forward to reading every future word.
Thanks Nigel for ur comment.. I wish only if the words could melt the tyrants...Â
The words of poets can give strength and hope to those that oppose tyrants, that is maybe the most that pacifists should aim for.
