Agony of The Syrian Citizens

 WE NEED PEACE IN SYRIA

 I sit on a mammoth mountain
Holding the map of a nation
I Stare at map with fondness
While I savour the smell of peace
But mood wouldn't be retained for long;
Map suddenly bleeds
Blood flows like the Red Sea
Children's tears deafen my ears
Adults wail in agony
Brutality and cruelty kill without ceasing.


Peace is sick in syria
Should we call violence to treat?
Love is jailed in Syria
Should we employ hatred to defend?
Humanity is assaulted in Syria
Should we call inhumanity to Judge?
Death is thief in Syria
Should we call Deaths to arrest?

War is a whore
It seduces death to be its lover
While being engaged to catastrophe.


Confusion parties within me
Violence must halt
But certainty of identity of the STOPPER
eludes me
How can peace be so costly
When all we need to purchase is love?

SURVIVAL INSTICT: What it takes to earn a living At a pretty tender age.

Thanks to their parents-the fortunate will found themselves in school doing something decent in preparation for the future, while the unfortunate ones, at a pretty tender age are left to figure out themselves on the streets what it takes to earn a living. It is a commonplace in a country that is one of the major oil producers in the world. In Nigeria, Children are seen daily hawking goods in on highways, contributing to various heavy labour workforces even where they were supposed to be restricted to adults, and carrying out menial jobs. They had no choice but to play to the tune of survival instinct, one that meant they have to fend for themselves at a very young age.
