Stop Bombing Aleppo!

Aleppo, Aleppo, Aleppo! Maybe many have not heard of you Maybe your name is so strange To find in the world map in classrooms But you are a voice in the wilderness Screaming for help and salvation From bombs that keep on falling also from the mighty claws of power meeting in Geneva round talk tables. Aleppo, Aleppo, Aleppo! Your children are fished out from rubles Dead or fortunate enough to be rescued alive Your children are screaming for food And water, denied access to these basics to life. Your children are gasping for breath As they wrestle with chemical gas on air. Aleppo, Aleppo, Aleppo Let us join you in your scream from the last breath of your lungs: Please stop bombing, Aleppo! ____________________ September 11,2016
