Poetry to news articles #1

Here's a new thing Im trying, Snap poetry to news articles I find compelling and important.

the monster is unleashed by your hand,
if all that lay beneath your feet,
were ever cast like dust in sand,
the world itself would cough and wheeze,
dust and ash and cough and sneeze

A world in sickness would last three days,
the doctor says to me.
You'll want to shudder the rough cough
cast the phlegm blob,
blade forged in a young adults novel
can the who is be be the we can who
pride so full of the people
I found them last year in the lost times

pink youthful mouths
decrying the status
sharp bugle sounds
this is our rally

(Old article)

Who was it that we were so for and,
in war what does it take not to be massacred by
the winning side?
Is it best to let it rest the facts of what was happened,
and let the public be mislead and the rest of it forgotten

O Syria, O Arab Spring, O reasons,
Please let all who fought the wall,
go home and be forgotten.
