Hello, Im a syrian boy,
I would like to tell you a story
A story of a 3 year old boy,
that loved his mother.
every night when she tucked him into bed he felt safe even though there were scary officers just outside the house
The government sends these men to terrorize the people into silence
But omar did not stay silent!
You must listen to this boy’s voice
Let me tell you his story
On dec 12 security officers barged into omar’s house they slaughtered omar’s mother
he cried helplessly as he watched his mother leave him forever
after that day omar never felt safe again
Omar’s no ordinary three year old
He has a rare liver disease
his mother used to take good care of him
She was his only hope
But they killed her in front of his eyes
Now he’s the youngest protester in Syria
He’s not scared
He went on tv and shouted “The people demand the fall of the regime”
If you hear omar chant you will see that he didn’t just lose his mom
He lost his childhood too
But the spirit of freedom is in the air
And he can sense it
And he decided to stay strong
Everyone in the country has put fear behind them
We are standing up for our rights
And we are all in it together
We want you to stand with us
You don’t have to stand next to us to stand with us
Raise your voices with ours
Omar decided to take his sorrow and turn it into something good
Omar is tiny and his voice is small
But if we all call out with him
The world will have to hear us
