Yarmouk refugee camp
is desolate and poor
thousands as far as the eye can see
and probably many more
standing very quietly
waiting to be fed
waiting for some hope at least
now its all come to a head
the arms dealers are happy
they have sold a lot of gear
a lot of homes have been shelled
and are falling down I hear
people have lost everything
hard working families too
suddenly they have nothing
and it could be me or you
look at the bloody buildings
smashed down with such force
and all these people waiting
hopeful there’s a source
of food of fresh cool water
of compassion to be found
everything’s gone pear shaped
now upon the ground
such empathy is needed
for the wickedness we see
the unrighteousness
the indifference
the vile depravity
and all these lovely people
have lost everything they had
everything they worked for
and that’s extremely sad
all of us but for fortune
could be in those queues
could be standing naked
and having to refuse
those who wish to rape us
of our senses and our rights
we too were created
and now face a bunch of shites
the people they are crying
inside their hearts today
their children may have been taken out
and murdered anyway
mothers may be crying
fathers may be dead
the arms dealers are happy
they have contracts they are fed
the wars are well ongoing
the people are to be
sacrificed forever
to preserve humanity
