Mother you promised me

With pinkies and wallahi’s and everything in between

You promised we would be free

Every day I wake up wanting to flee

With soundtracks of bombs and screams foreseen

The drones are flying above the trees

Mother you promised me

With trust and comfort and everything in between

You said freedom was guaranteed

Every day I wish to see the North Sea

But I’m stuck here with this ever changing routine

Waking up to the sounds of destruction and buildings covered in debris

Like the Euphrates, my wounds rapidly bleed

Why can’t they see this is obscene?

Red stains on our clothes from Aleppo to the dead sea

Mother you promised me

With lies and broken promises and everything in between

They said no one leaves

With darkness and drones and-nothing in between
