What is Your Story ?

Waking up early morning for school

Never was a reality for us or a rule

Silence shattering with the sound of war

Bereavement and wreckage near and far

In harm’s way caught in a crossfire

Situation here is rather very dire

My childhood stands threatened 

Displaced, waiting just to see the end.

Devastation of war is meaningless to me

Never brings good or any bonhomie

Yet we fight and tear things apart

Bring an end to all dear to our heart

Inhumaneness escalated with biased tones

There is rarely anyone who never moans

Our future outlook is just too bleak

Education a priority we never seek

Accuse the terrorists of all the mayhem

Ravaging conditions, they are to blame

Pleading eyes of children hurt homeless

Violence and hardship causing a mess

Vulnerable as we are difficult to starve

Tears and hunger both not easy to curb

Painful memories are all that we carry

Witness to this long battle just too weary.

Will this go on and on forever unabated

Can I go out to play without being hated

 When can I see the clear pristine blue sky

No smoke or smolder but birds flying high

  Syria my dear country the land of my birth

To me the greatest place on this earth

My dear adults this is my sordid story

May no kid suffer this grisly and gory
