Syria and the shoemaker
517 dead in Aleppo,
151 bambini writes an Italian activist
I'm remembering the picture
of a Mi-8 with barrel bombs
death hanging on wires
but a billionaire man
who has played all his life with cars
hit a rock
and famous neurosurgeons fight to save him
fight
Yarmouk with it's 18 000 remaining
refugees among ruins
a lifetime of exile
230 000 scattered refugees twice over
people dying of starvation each day
children old people
even men in their best years
skeletons all
but Michael still lives
Michael fights for his life
Michael the Greatest
who has played with cars
his entire life
playing with cars
his fame
a little girl lifted
all covered in dust
from ruins
alive it is claimed
but it's hard to see from the picture
so we must trust the claim
and that she
is the only survivor
in her family
famous people are praying for Michael
they say to the press
tweet to the hoi polloi
shocked they say
that rock of a billion years
did not shatter when hit
by a billionaire's head
Muhammad the teenager came home
to find there was no home
no family left
all dead
in ruins
I'm not sorry they are dead
he supposedly said
again we must trust the claim
I'm only sad that they went away
and left me
I will go for them
but what about Michael?
but what about Michael?
