new Herod terrorizes the Levant
as if each innocent wanted him dead
Damascus labors to give news his slant
but most atrocities are on his head
IslamicState may dominate the press
but their death-toll's a trifle to the State's
a hundred factions battle for this mess
while millions more attempt to emigrate
the peoplehood of Syria's unclear
imperial vestige of Picot-Sykes
and civil war will drag on many years
until Assad's head's posted on a pike
it's rare one individual's to blame
for so much horror wrought in Assad's name
as if each innocent wanted him dead
Damascus labors to give news his slant
but most atrocities are on his head
IslamicState may dominate the press
but their death-toll's a trifle to the State's
a hundred factions battle for this mess
while millions more attempt to emigrate
the peoplehood of Syria's unclear
imperial vestige of Picot-Sykes
and civil war will drag on many years
until Assad's head's posted on a pike
it's rare one individual's to blame
for so much horror wrought in Assad's name
