Syria today tomorrow

by Jonathan Beale / April 30th, 2017

That human nebulous experience among the rubble
As everyday as the football gossip or the markets rise and fall
Empires of course – rise and fall

The world is fighting their own Bill of Rights. Seeing what
was once a great and glorious pulsating heathing metropolis.
The city will rise again from the blood permeated in the earth
