A Child From Sirya Had a Dream

A CHILD FROM SYRIA HAD A DREAM 
 
 peace was his dream
 
 his dream became steam 

 the steam became unseen

 on the hand of a bad regime
 
 his family was his dream 

 playing around was his dream 

 growing , learning was his dream

 feeling , loving was his dream
 
 building his home was his dream

 his dream was a sweet dream 

 but his dream became unseen

 on the hand of a bad regime 

 a slap & kick stopped his dream

 he opened his eyes on another dream 

 this was a real dream 

 he said this is not my dream 

 he saw new people were not from his dream 

 they were from someone else's dream 

 he looked around searching for his dream 

 all he saw injured, dying dream

 begging ,crying on a loud scream 

 he cried ,he begged ,please save my dream 

 the whole world watched that regime
 
 killing the poor boy and his dream
