Aleppo Poem by Sossi Khachadourian

The past has gone
The devilish fight
Still surrounding around
Aleppo we survived
What you've got tell me what
What we have got from faith
What we have got from death
What we have got when they said
One day this fight will find end
Missiles have stopped nowadays
After six years of extermination
People lost their sight
Their sons
Their families
The noise of the fight
Still remains all the night
We lost battle
We lost the soul of humor
Reason for living
Despite the fight
We had the faith
This disaster one day we'll find an end
All that left behind
a lifetime perdition
A ruined city
That huge city
Aleppo for you my beloved
We survived
Our tears have dried
But all that we've got a destroyed future and bleeding hearts
