'Children of Homs' by Mary Cecil Saturday, May 26, 2012 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan A protest poem written in response to the slaughter in Syria.
‘Children of Homs’ Humanity is broken in Syria, Despair is burying them deep The lost little children in Homs, Crying with fear as we sleep No sunlight, no food, nor joy, Shattered and shelled all around Huddled and weeping together, Living like rats underground Hope taking flight as they cry, Ground into dust their fate Blown like flies in the sun, Dying on a carcass of a state Voices in valleys of bodies, Souls that lies slain and burned Forests of forms ticked and listed Marked out for inaction returned Victims of greed and oppression, Slaves to retention of power Suffer the little children, By month, by day and by hour By Mary Cecil

If there was ever a vailid reason for war and soldiers from peacekeeping nations to enter a country this to me is a time. When children suffer because of oppresors then it is time for civilized countries to use force if necessary to put an end to it so no child has to go to bed in fear and hunger. fee
