We as humans mourn, even some animals in the animal kingdom, have been observed mourning, a Mother elephant, mourns the death of her calf. In Syria, at the start of the uprising, a young boy was tortured, and a month later given back to his family lifeless. He was tortured by a criminal regime, by animals, and I certinly do not want the world to forget his name.
Hamza
In A Century
Not Devoid of Infamy
In an Absolute
Freedom A Resolute
A Martyr Falls
A Child So Tall
Defines A Nation
His Death A Humiliation
His Father Cried
His Government Lied
Tortured and Battered
His Life Scattered
Veiled and Disgraced
His Body Displaced
His Life Left
His Death Felt
A Criminal Regime
Grotesque and Obscene
Dares Kills A Child
Forever Cannot Hide
His Blood Ran
A River’s long Span
His Thirteen Years
Now Forever Long Tears
All Mothers In Despair
A Killer, Never Cared
A Tortured Hamza Cried
Now Lifeless, His Nation’s Pride
