I don’t want to write about Syria,
About when they said the son was different.
Western educated, they touted,
A reformer, panels of experts said.
I don’t want to think about The Damascus suburb
When the gas filled the air
And whatever shattered dreams they had
Were crushed with the streets around them
And their bodies bloated,
Like Assad’s ego
Presiding over his kingdom of death.
