A Prayer for Syrians
People deserve better than other oppressors
Dec 8, 2024
dictator escapes
slinks away in dead of night
bodies and ruins
of once proud society
left behind in unmarked graves
he tortured and bombed
to hold misbegotten wealth
now, he will eat Putin's cake
nature abhors a vacuum
Allah, Hashem, Coptic Christ
please save men, children, and especially women
from the barbarians at the gate
Afghanistan banana stand
people are not just hot rocks
they are treasures
deserving of protection
not more oppression
Shalom
