Across the Pond - Syria




Recent news from Syria's enough to break your heart.
Where the heck is Turkey and why don't they play their part?
Haven't they been saying that they want a larger role?
Why are they just watching as Assad pursues his goal?

Homs is out of medicine and water. Out of time.
I would like to help them but before we spend a dime
I think we should ask the Turks and Saudis to step up.
They've been dealing with these guys since Hector was a pup.

Syria's their neighbor; closely allied with Iran
And, since we're quite busy fighting in Afghanistan,
I think that it's time - and past - for them  to draw a line.
Make Assad face facts and finally force him to resign.
