My Mother Syria

My mothershe has been crying fora long time nowweeping for her childrenher children burning in flames

My mother is now shriekingand screaming with painher skin being ripped offher bones breakingshe’s crumbling, disintegrating.My mother’s cryingher body tore apart,she’s being raped openlybombed, she’s in flames.She;s being torn apartThe whole world is seeing her beingtorn apartand they’re all pretending to be blindAnd she’s being torn apartBut yet the world pretends to be blind.My mother’s tears have created their own oceanAnd I the child, have found shelterWe’re safe in my mother’s tearsThe world is too cruelThe world is deaf to our screamsThe world is blind to our woundsThe world is dumbMy mother, my mother’s name isSyria.
