Assad can not be stopped by red lines

Assad can not be stopped by red lines

A poem to the Congress

Assad can not be stopped by red lines

Hitler could not be stopped by them, also

War criminals can only be removed by rockets

This is the only effective way with them that I know

They don’t care when you show them your heart

But they back off when you show them you can tow

In the series of the Arab Spring Revolutions

Assad is still waiting for his turn in the row

He is not only the enemy of Syria

He is the whole humanity’s foe

He needs someone to draw a circle on his forehead

Then to bring an arrow and a bow

His Chemicals should be seized

And his gang should be turned into dough

‘No boots on the ground’ Obama promised his folks

So, the Congress should give him the “Go”

‘The madman should be punished’ he also said

Then why should the Congress say “NO”?

And what’s wrong with those who supported the hit yesterday

But when it became imminent today, they decided to flow

Taking action now will be written by letters of light

But ignoring the massacres will be written as “Shame and Low”

Great performances were done in Kosovo and Libya before

And now in Syria, it’s about time to start the show
