The Syrian March

Awaken!

One numb vestige at a time.

Shake the veil off

Off your ancient bosom.

Amin,

Allahu akbar,

En deus vult!

Awaken!

Shake them off.

Dishevel the seeds,

Buried deep

to waken.

The seeds of

The martyrs, your children.

Limbo,

Where they lived

In.

Lives uncounted for.

Seen unseen. Lived unliven.

Judder now! Awaken!

And call us home.
