What is Aleppo?
What is Aleppo?
The people asked
Nobody knew
Nobody cared
It didn't affect their lives
It didn't matter
Where is the world?
The children of Aleppo asked
Why have they abandoned us?
Why do they not care?
Why have they left us here?
Murdered in the streets
Burned alive by ruthless savages
Where are the children of Adam?
Our brothers & sisters in this world
Where were we when Aleppo burned?
Why did we not speak on it?
Why did we turn a blind eye?
Children burned alive by chemical weapons
Families torn apart by the actions of a detached maniac
We said we would be different
Wouldn't allow the tragedies of the past to occur in our time
It's our time now, and this tragedy rivals those of the past
Are we liars?
Did we lie to ourselves?
Why did we keep silent?
Why didn't those children matter?
Why didn't their parents matter?
Why did we not care?
Why were we not there?
