Images From Syria
By Mark Soifer
a poem that summarizes the pain in Syria.
::::::::
The bodies pile up in Syria:
The networks show them-
Warn you
"That the images
are graphic""
Hundreds gassed-
Lying on blankets-
Their faces stilled
a mille- second
before death-
The children
The children
So many children
Taken away
By the insanity
Of war-
Lined up in rows
Like so many sticks
Like so many sticks
On a long picket fence"
