Poor Syria Poem by Francis Duggan

In the Syrian civil war one hundred thousand people reportedly have died
And thousands badly injured and thousands of homes destroyed
And in Lebanon one million Syrian war refugees
Of war and it's brutality never any good memories
And the great western powers on a peace plan for Syria cannot agree
Politics before people's lives and suffering this is how it is and will always be
In wars people are dying and being injured, homeless and dispossessed every day
War men have not learned from past wars it does seem this way
Poor Syria the Land of death, bloodshed and tears
The civil war there it could go on for years
And for war refugees no welcome anywhere
In their search for a safe home in the big World out there
Thousands have died and have been injured in the war in Syria far away
Humanity has it's dark side this does seem fair to say.
