Slop Weekly Challenge Plight of Syria

Plight of Syria

I am no expert,
No war and imperialistic
Policy afficionado,
But even I can begin to see
And beginning to see
Tears I do weep
My eyes have sunken
To the depths of a broken heart
I cry for young children
Oh Syria
Is this the way new life
Must start?

How hearts have shrunk
Power hungry policies
Of greedy war mongers
Craving fat slices of
Middle eastern pie
One by one they decimate
Ancient Arab nations
Sooth! We only
Liberate people
From their fate.
Sometimes, sadly
We can offer
Only Death.

I have been an amazed witness
How a civilized First world of wealthy nations
Can concoct evil end plans
A caucus of infamy
Erases and rewrites history
Casting as Hero
Only the abject yes man.
Only the sham Straw man.

Assad's war crimes, more than 30 years old,
At a time, when he was a doctor in Great Britain
Seemingly discovered as he opposed
The Lybian Arab Spring...
Suddenly there were concerted efforts
To defame and indict him.

Aren't they all authoritarian
Middle East regimes?
Why this subtle differentiation
On a Spring time whim?

Regime change at any cost
Chemical false flag attacks

Denial of rights
To a once stable government
To defend its people or borders
As Al Nusra and ISIS looted raped and plundered
And still went by the name of "Freedom fighters",
Paid mercenaries and thugs from
Far and wide
Posed as a nation's heroic liberating pride.
Should we be taken as allies
On this unholy ride?

A hundred missiles For seventy dead
Oh Shoot a guided bullet
through my weary head
Can't do this unreal maths
Can't absolve this plotted sin
The blood of Arabia
Runs ever thin....

Even as Mighty
Israel guns down Palestine
And Saudi Arabia won't let
The dissident win,
Heck! they won't even let
Their brothers in.

Strange allies
Strange principles
Strangest of all
These false savage days
We are sinking in....

Hailey/Haley's comet has struck again..
Shock and awe, old
Vibrations resent
In Nikki speak
Are we locked and loaded then?

No way out....
Nothing left to God or Chance...
Think tanks reserve this last dance.
