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.
