On The Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack Poem by Francis Duggan

For the chemical weapons attack on civilians in Syria the government and the rebels each other do blame
In what for Syria and humanity is just one more day of shame
In a horrible civil war that may go on for years
Poor Syria has become the land of death, blood letting and tears
Most war men are not known for their humanity
The strangers to compassion and empathy
The use of chemical weapons is an unforgivable crime
And those who authorize their use should be sentenced to a life of prison time
The very worst of criminals of them one might say
That power can corrupt it does seem this way
In Syria on a chemical weapons attack nearly two thousand people died
Those who authorized and carried out this atrocity human made law may avoid
But the workings of Karma cannot be denied
And from it for them there will be nowhere to hide.
