Kerala, India
Lost in Aleppo
Alone in the crowd I stand And shamelessly, put the burden
Eyes searching forth at familiar face, Of this savage war
Wish I had not let go your hand, On the shoulders of little children
Now you are gone without a trace. And to leave a barren path, long and
far.
Why did they have to choose our place,
To destroy and turn to dust? No matter how much ever I try
Our home town reduced to amaze I cannot hold back my tears.
And the land is left to rust. I need a shoulder to cry
And share al l my fears.
The world has lost its glory,
humane values, if there were any. You were my only friend,
With all these acts so gory, But now I'm left alone.
Took lives of so many. Where am I to find an end
Or a place I can call home?
