Inequality even in death

In death there’s still no equality

Look at Syria and Turkey,

An earthquake hit and both suffered

Under buildings people were smothered,

Under concrete homes in which they lived

Now ask who received the aid we give,

Turkey being helped by all that can

Syria has much fewer hands,

Syria receives no aid or help at all

What happened to the emergency call?

Are lives and in Syria worth far more less

Children rescued from the rubble but without a breath,

Tears being cried while help is denied

But the international community defies,

Both countries are on their knees

Both countries cry and plead,

This is the worst of all tragedies

But we should be helping both countries equally,

But no one is being saved in Syria like Turkey

Because there is not enough aid and that’s the key,

And so the suffering is beyond belief

But I send my prayers while on my knees,

Though I wish in this case there was greater equality

The tears I shed and that I weep,

Are for the innocent who have lost whole families

We should all be ashamed we left and ignored Syria’s needs.
