Aleppo

How easy

Does,

The harsh of

Summer’s warring sun,

Come

How hard it is

For bright stars

To light earths, sight

And nights cool to chill,

Passions fight

How anger throws

Furled fiery fists

And into a reckless fight

Do we slip, and drift

So said are we

Adults said, are we

With no shame or remorse

The shield of

Innocents, then lost?

Maimed and burned by the hot of

Victorious men

No regard for some?

No regard for the dead?

Shame you all

Who answer the call!

And cast the stones

That kill and lash children hiding,

In the broken womb,

of their homes

Nature

And let my nature

Take its course

Let it live,

with no remorse

Let it stand

Stamped from land

Dressed in colors

Of all, man

And let my nature

Dwell with me

Roped and tied

For all eternity

Let it live

as one

Crafted from here

And there,

and there

to sum

Let my nature

Say to me

You’re made,

you are made of land,

And dressed in colors

Of earthly man

Let my nature

Lay with me

And whisper –

Carpe Diem

Every day

Let my nature

use my time

As a song,

Sung,

as notes,

played

From a minstrels

frolicking rhyme

Let my nature sing-

sing my life,

Was spent as best,

spent to the test

For all-

all of gentle

mankind’s, rest.
