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?
