A school was fire bombed in Syria
Copyright © Vincenzo Pandolfi 2013
I was watching a documentary late one night about an overworked under supplied emergency department in Syria, when score of burned children started to arrive following the fire bombing of a school.
Leaders of the world
Have you seen the school ground
We scorched the earth, where they played
Turned pages to ashes
War landed on a merry-go-round
Leaders of the world
Have you heard the children scream?
From fear and pain their skin aflame
Like melted plastic wrap
Why did we burn their dream?
How can we close our eyes and sleep
While we can hear the children weep
While we can see their tears flow
Turning red with every blow
With two ears plugged and two eyes shut
We can still hear the children scream
We can still see their tears stream
How can we sleep a peaceful sleep
This mountain is too steep
Leaders of the world
Please tell us that we have learned
That schools are not for us to burn
That a child is sacred kind
Or all our words are just pretend
How can we close our eyes and sleep
While we can hear the children weep
While we can see their tears flow
Turning red with every blow
With two ears plugged and two eyes shut
We can still hear the children scream
We can still see their tears stream
How can we sleep a peaceful sleep
This mountain is too steep
