Sweet Syria is still burning!

 

Directly up at Syria.
The tardy seasons come and go.
The sun shines.
The moon glows.
But, the earth recedes,
Directly up at Syria.

 

Sweet Syria is still burning!

 

The embittered conflicts have gone on:
Too long! Too long!
Devastation and death,
Imitate each other.
The world seeks answers to save Syria.
No answers come.

 

Sweet Syria is still burning!

 

The conflict in Syria is entering fifth year having started in 2011.
