Sunday April 21, 2013, the militias (Shabbihas) of the Assad’s regime committed a new massacre in the town of Judaydet Al-Fadel in the western suburbs of Damascus, where more than 500 civilians, mostly women and children, were slaughtered, burned or crushed.
The Massacre of Judaydet Al-Fadel
April 21, 2013
In Judaydet Al-Fadel, a massacre took place
It happened while the whole world was watching how Syria became an inferno
And how it turned into ruins
And every city in it became a graveyard
The United Nations were worried and continued to be worried
And the Security Counsel did nothing but issuing warnings
Some countries drew red lines (to Assad)
But those red lines became today laughing materials
Some other countries bragged that they would arm us
To find out later that those arms were coffee, tea and sugar
The opposition was divided into a party that was fooled
And a party that loved conferences, positions and showing off
The children have been slaughtered by axes
While the Assad’s Shabbihas performed the dance of victory
Those creatures don’t belong to humanity
You recognize them from their (different) names
From their history of backstabbing and betraying
But also from the Military Boot, which they glorify
From their dirty souls which make even Satan feel disgusting
Souls too dirty to find a word to describe with
Their hearts are full with a hate that no one ever knew
Their eyes are full with colors of the brazier
Serpents from the neighboring countries came to support them
But we will bury them all in the Free Syria
The massacre, this time, is named Judaydet Al-Fadel
Thanks to the world who turned into a pig
But you, my Syria, be patient. Yes, today is bitter
But tomorrow will be different and the Revolution will be the victorious
