Aleppo Is Now a Synonym for Hell

https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/...-for-hell.html

“Aleppo is now a synonym for hell,”
says Ban Ki-moon. We sigh, and change the station,
because we don’t see danger very well.

Show footage of the market’s closing bell.
Discuss the Flip or Flop hosts’ situation.
“Aleppo is now a synonym for hell,”

says Ban Ki-moon, but no one wants to dwell
on that. We’re sick of clips of devastation.
Because we don’t see danger very well,

we yawn, and let the oligarchies sell
their power to us, packaged as salvation.
Aleppo is now a synonym for hell,

and climate change abatement’s final knell
makes hell the whole damn planet’s destination,
because we don’t see danger. Very well,

the writing on the wall will always spell
in vain, unless we change the conversation.
Aleppo is now a synonym for hell,
because we don’t see danger very well.
