Syrian Nightmare

Flashes from the missiles - fire in the sky Bombardments hammer down Howling of projectiles louder than the cries I'm running alone Fleeing from the soldiers - rebel groups alike Surrounding our town Killing the civilians - there's no place to hide No mosque - no playground When torture, pain & violence become daily routine My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway Our so called leaders slaying us for years Poison gas policy Cruel interrogations, people disappear War crimes, beastly Many fled the country - millions like I'm told Now I am one of them You can call me Ahmed, I am 10 years old Will I live again? When torture, pain & violence become daily routine My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway When torture, pain & violence become daily routine My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway
