I am sorry old men in their offices decide
Their economies are worth children’s lives
I am sorry hyenas were taught to hate
Unluckily home was on their plate
I am sorry, “habibi” you are left alone to fight
I am sorry their darkness took your light
I cover my eyes with denial’s hands
But reality is brute she took a stand
She decided the color of walls in your room
Red it shall be and it won’t dry soon
Like you my brother I am sorry to see
Everything that’s come to be
My dear brother my heart aches
My dear brother, I am sorry…
*For the children in Aleppo,
And children affected by war around the world.
