There are lions that guard the gates of light <br />Whose cubs may slumber but with eyes that pierce the dark; <br />How dare you sneak into our multifarious but harmonious rites <br />With alien snipers who have the semblance of Lucifer's clowns? <br /> <br />You sow the seeds of discord and sectarian strife <br />But in Syrian soil no evil can bud or yield a sprout <br />And the heads of vipers that slither to desecrate our hearts <br />Will be the soot retreating back to your venomous hearths. <br /> <br />The lies you broadcast to tarnish our starry skies <br />Will only breed black holes to devour your flamboyant spite: <br />Our words of truth will scintillate like beacons of light <br />But like hunted witches you burn your words alive. <br /> <br />Syrians love each other. <br /> <br />Copyright Susie Gharib<br /><br />Dr Susie Gharib<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/syria-and-hi-tech-sirens/
