Images From Syria

By Mark Soifer

a poem that summarizes the pain in Syria.

::::::::

 by Mark Soifer 

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"
