| Notes | The speaker of this poem is a Syrian woman, weeping for the death of her son during the Syrian Civil War. However, since Aleppo has been utterly destroyed, there isn't even a place to pray for him. The city has been reduced to rubble by bombs, and the only sound is the drone of war planes high above. |
