In the Death of an Evil Woman
Anissa Makhloof (1940-2016)
By Tarif Youssef Agha
Today, the evil widow of a butcher (Hafez Assad) passed away,
Anissa, also the mother of the Syrian Nero (Bashar Assad), passed away
A reservoir of hatred and poison she was,
If the devils were given the choice, they would make her their boss
If she would passed by scorpions, they would bend down in respect for her,
If she would meet serpents, they would offer her a groom
History will document that the Syrian people during her era,
Bounced between becoming martyrs, refugees or prisoners
And that her late husband destroyed the city of Hama (1982),
Before he died as a sick dog
And that her son burned down all of Syria,
He didn’t leave any house, mosque or church intact
And he didn’t leave any enemy of Syria he didn’t bring in,
He betrayed the Homeland as Judas betrayed Jesus
Her husband donated the Golan (Heights) to Israel as a gift (in the 1967 war),
And her son left all of Syria to Iran as prey
Then he invited Russia to occupy,
The inheritor of the country became just the manager,
That was the Anissa we knew,
If she witnessed the time of Hulago (a merciless Mongol leader), he would make her his adviser
She didn’t introduce to Syria but thieves and butchers,
And also traitors, torturers and conspirators
He didn’t do any unfairness he who damned her,
And he who called her evil

The official Syrian TV announced today, Saturday February 6, 2016, that Anissa Makhloof, the mother of the dictator Bashar Assad, passed away. Those who are experts in the Syrian regime know that she influenced the decisions of her late husband, the dictator Hafez Assad, and her son. Therefore, she had a big role behind the war crimes they both committed.
