A Call for Humanity Against the Genocide in Syria ( Poem)

In the deep wound of Syria,

The hearts of Alevis and Christians bleed.

Radical winds blow,

The dark clouds of genocide loom, at any moment.

In the hands of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,

In the hands of the Free Syrian Army,

Humanity dies, hope fades,

The existence of a people comes to an end.

The silent approval of the Great Middle East Project’s servants Erdoğan and Bahçeli,

The secret path of Kalın and Fidan,

While destroying the conscience of a nation,

The Turkish people will burn in this fire too.

Everyone’s eyes have gone blind,

Voices rose, but went unheard,

The doors of justice are shut,

We are all guilty, none of us have been judged.

We make a call to the whole world,

It’s time to stop the genocide,

A hope for Alevis and Christians,

It’s time to fight for humanity before it’s too late.

Defend secularism, uphold rights with honor,

In the midst of war, with conscience,

Let’s unite against war,

Let’s build our resistance on law and justice.

It is not to destroy a nation, a people,

But to unite, to shout together,

The heart of humanity is silent, its eyes are crying,

But we, together, will awaken the world.
