Bombs are falling in Aleppo, the evil failed man that rules, killing his own people, Innocent noncombatants, sheltering in their homes, Crushed and buried in the falling rubble of a dictator's vengeful hate. None but the volunteer White Helmets digging with bare hands to save and unbury them, most victims, irrecoverable pieces. Occasionally, miraculously some are spared and saved.   Through these valiant selfless efforts. Oh Syria, you are bombed and burned, while the world fiddles an obtuse tune and turns its collective back on desperate human cries for assistance.

Crimes of Shame
Bombs are falling in Aleppo, the evil failed man that rules, killing his own people, Innocent noncombatants, sheltering in their homes, Crushed and buried in the falling rubble of a dictator's vengeful hate. None but the volunteer White Helmets digging with bare hands to save and unbury them, most victims, irrecoverable pieces. Occasionally, miraculously some are spared and saved.   Through these valiant selfless efforts. Oh Syria, you are bombed and burned, while the world fiddles an obtuse tune and turns its collective back on desperate human cries for assistance.
How much is enough I wonder, instead of impossible walls to build,or immigration bans, why not intervene to stop the wholesale slaughter of innocent people. ****** on this scale unchecked is paramount to a silent shameful approval and moral surrender.
