The Siege of Kobane …
(Saturday 11th October 2014)
The resistance stands,
Kobane stands,
it’s defenders armed with Kalashnikovs and the fierce will of a people refusing to be cowed,
the resistance against the perversions of ISIS stands,
today,
in the streets of Kobane.
The battles rage on,
as we type these words,
as you read these lines,
the resistance against ISIL barbarity holds firm.
Kobane stands!
Still!
Kobane has not fallen!
Viva the Resistance!
The Battle for Kobane…
The black flag of ISIS limply flutters on the eastern outskirts,
of Kobane.
The blood flows,
through narrow streets,
a ghost – town,
it’s people fleeing from the butchers’ knives,
refugees now,
in limbo,
while the parched desert sun sets on the battlefield.
If Kobane falls,
we shall all be on our knees,
naked and exposed,
to the void that is ISIS.
May the brave resistance soldier on,
under – equipped,
under – fed,
under constant siege,
yet they fight on,
against the backdrop of toothless air strikes,
as innocent blood flows,
and flows.
LONG LIVE THE RESISTANCE!
