About This Poem

 

"After reading several recent news stories about the targeted air strikes on schools, homes, and hospitals in the rebel-held neighborhoods of Aleppo, Syria, I felt compelled to write a poem about these horrific war crimes, focusing specifically on the hundreds of child casualties that have resulted from these bombings."
—Chard deNiord
