At the corner, a girl child from the UK another soft drink she chugged Whilst the girl woman in the Sudan, the heavy *** on head she lugged She walked eight miles, braving **** to fetch unclean water from the well Whilst in the UK, the girl bought designer clothes to make her feel just swell God where are the waters of life? To end their strife At the mall, the boy child ate his third Hershey bar In Malawi the boy man’s stomach had extended too far Malnutrition had sealed his fate God where is the cereal? To make their lives non-ephemeral Down under, the son celebrated with family, presents and cake his father’s 100th milestone Whilst in war torn Syria, a son, now orphan buried his young murdered father, in ground without a gravestone God when will the fighting cease? To give them a chance of peace Is this God’s confusion? That though we are all made the same, some people their innocence shattered are headed for a terrifying fate whilst others fully satiated and secure, sip their drinks, polish off and request another plate Or does God if he exists not love the weak and oppressed?

awakened by the offsprings cry, baby powdered morning dew showers the room, coffee stained smiles shine about cheerio blanketed kitchens, so worrisome for office tardiness, the carseat won't lock into place, tire marks on fresh paved driveways, to daycare tears dry not she's on time, fatigued she plants her seed to the office seat to grow even less awaiting to see the smile of her child and say her prayers before falling asleep                      - awaked by the offsprings cry, gun powered morning dew showeres the village, rotted teeth smile amongst the body-blanketed township, so worrisome of finding a slain mother sister brother just like father, the gun won't lock into place, they never will, tattered couches paved with the ***** of slaughtered buildings, mother's dead tears dry not, fatigued, hands of grungy drainpipes plant beside, holding stagnant a somber sibling, tremors ripple crimson tides, planted to grow even less awaiting to see the smile of his mother his father his sister and say his prayers with brother before laying down

Syria oh Syria why do you bleed? Brother fights brother without thought or need Ruled by a tyrant for so many years And now the spilt blood is washed away by tears Democracy by debate you tried and you failed Now the wives and mothers they cry and they wail Democracy now sought at the point of a gun Your country in turmoil, lives being undone I sympathise and weep at your terrible plight Your people are dying, no end in sight Can man ever undo the chaos he's wrought? Going to war without reason or thought Syria oh Syria your bloods being drained By those who would seek political gain When the killing is done will you be better off? Is what you might gain worth all the loss? Your economy gone so how will you live? The worlds in recession, no money to give Families destroyed and homes are no more All destroyed by a political war

The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

In creature comforts of the West; I ponder.      As my heart strays eastward.            My star in the East? "If there be a God..."        He must be capable of entering men's hearts,              they in turn bear witness to human suffering. If this is so.     How can our brothers in Syria be suffering?              Why have they been forsaken? "If there be a God?"        If there be a God.            If there be a God.                               Allah? *

A Sala'am Alaikum
Paris The city of light Having its darkest night Since World War Two. Lebanon Double the body bags, Yet no media hags Turn their heads. Normal For there they say But for Paris nay And so we pay attention. Kenya Syria Iraq Libia A suicide bomb Over here, Two hundred dead, we overhear Wrapped into our daily news. We pay it Almost no heed As the blood drips down to feed The list of the dead. We say It is because we have grown Accustomed, yet we have flown Over the Coocoo's best to believe this. The truth is, Both for here And there, A white life is worth far more. It is worth 10 Black American lives, 16 Hispanic or Asian lives, 27 Arab lives, 35 African lives, These numbers Straight from CNN And the New York Times. Do we not bleed the same blood? Have we forgotten what it is to smile Such that we cannot see ours are all the same? What has happened to this world, Once so gold and bright, Now a darkened, saddened grey As it weeps it's tears Upon the red river That runs through the valley of fears.

In blood, a precious cake dancing aflame in whirlpool of cyclopean darkness. The triggers of sanguinary guns are tumbling down tears, sorrow and grief in gush on the cliff of darkness. The moon,  a crimson cake of venom toasting blind sun in gory rays as stars twinkling blood at dawn. The orphan profusely wailing for peace in her own bizarre carnage in bazaar of iniquity and rivers of blood. Let the world stop this blood Lest this blood stops the world! ©2018 KAYODE STEVE ADARAMOYE

SYRIA: A CAKE IN BLOOD
"Shush now child, you lay your head down, go to sleep right on my chest. Bombs are ringing out the windows, rock us both to sleep or death. Feel the warmness, feel my smile, feel the trickle of my tears. Baby girl just know I love you, heaven’s gates are shining near."

Lullaby for Syria
islamophobia at its finest you couldn't have spoken truer words three years before injustice fell cascading down upon your head like rocks each one labeled hate fear terror and it's that label, drenched in your blood that begs and screams to be renounced i am not a terrorist no, you aren't, but every pale-skinned man who doesn't know the pigment in your skin as anything but dirt couldn't see the difference so yet, we fight for you your love, your voice for every child that lives in fear we will charge on your skin tone is not a death sentence and the media who doesn't know  their right from their united left will hear us we do not need you we do not need you we do not need you us many times as God will give us strength we will charge on for you for them for Palestine for Syria for every fear-filled child we will remember and for each one fallen, trapped beneath the rocks hate, fear, terror we will set you free

for deah, or, an oath to a fallen friend
The Alexandrians were gathered to see Cleopatra's children, Caesarion, and his little brothers, Alexander and Ptolemy, whom for the first time they lead out to the Gymnasium, there to proclaim kings, in front of the grand assembly of the soldiers. Alexander -- they named him king of Armenia, Media, and the Parthians. Ptolemy -- they named him king of Cilicia, Syria, and Phoenicia. Caesarion stood more to the front, dressed in rose-colored silk, on his breast a bouquet of hyacinths, his belt a double row of sapphires and amethysts, his shoes fastened with white ribbons embroidered with rose pearls. Him they named more than the younger ones, him they named King of Kings. The Alexandrians of course understood that those were theatrical words. But the day was warm and poetic, the sky was a light azure, the Alexandrian Gymnasium was a triumphant achievement of art, the opulence of the courtiers was extraordinary, Caesarion was full of grace and beauty (son of Cleopatra, blood of the Lagidae); and the Alexandrians rushed to the ceremony, and got enthusiastic, and cheered in greek, and egyptian, and some in hebrew, enchanted by the beautiful spectacle -- although they full well knew what all these were worth, what hollow words these kingships were.

I'm sorry. Twas not my finger that pulled a trigger Nor was it my signature that sealed the fate Of an exploding bomb delivering destruction, Death, Loss, Pain, Suffering. But I'm still sorry. My sorry eyes have been blind but always teary, Guilty, Helpless, Longing, I see your pictures and ache to hold you, Comfort you, Soothe you, Help you. So sorry. But I tell myself I need a car, I need to save, I need to eat, I need to think of that trip home, Christmas presents, Next weekend, I need the money but You need to survive and I need to wake up and instead of being Sorry, I need to be helpful. We all do.

To The Children of Syria
Thousands of miles away Human beings are being gassed to death And photographs of mourning families Are published by the hour And even though The world acknowledges Syria's current condition Very few have seen the pictures Blood and tears and unfathomable terror Ignorance at its finest America at its finest Why cant we be a nation of proactivity rather than reactivity Why does it take so much For people to realize That genocide is occurring And that lives are being torn apart As we sit calmly at our dinner tables Abundant with pea soup And roasted chicken And lack of caring

They are stating a fact. Not opinion, -they intend to do it. I used To think that if you readE, read enough, studied, you'D see? Brighter minds would stop it! "Fool;" those minds are planning it! Policy Papers are not policy at all, they are cushions, a softening pillory. Designed to lay a foundation. Where you play sucker for war. N.W.A -New World Apocalypse-
