THE CLOWN OF ALLEPO
His name were Anas al-Bashaplayed The Clown , in a city
that were in desperate need
of laughter
he , Anas al-Basha , know
just what to do - dress as a clown!
so Anas , found the cloths , make up
Trousers , way to big , braces , attached
pants , went up and down , as strolled
huge , shoes , that flap as he walked
a friend , tempted buckets of water down his trues
the little kids , loved him , grown up to
squeezed horny hooter , how funny he looked
children , founded , they could , giggle , grown ups
they could laugh , again , even when all around lay only death
The Clown , of Aleppo , killed in the bombing , the laughter , stilled , for now
Anas al-Basha - you will not be forgotten! As will Abu al-Ward , both remembered!!
