Syria will deliver freedom
Syria will deliver freedom
By Tarif Youssef Agha
After the oppressor was told “Syria will deliver freedom”
He trembled and ordered all the new born babies to be killed
And ordered the heads to be cut, the tummies to be opened,
And those who don’t worship him to be burned
His army started storming all the cities
His soldiers started knocking on all the doors
He used every thug, hater and butcher
And also every one who was known to be a traitor
The whole country sunk in sadness and fear
And the knife became the only witness and the only witnessed
The population was divided between those who became graveyard residents,
Escapees and border crossers
Between those who were arrested and exposed to torture
And those who were swallowed by prisons and put in chains
The heart of Syria shock over her new born baby
Because death was using the people around as a fuel
But God whispered to Syria not to be sad
And said “We will save your new born baby”, God always fulfills
Freedom always surprises the oppressor when he doesn’t expect it
Every oppressor is promised to be fallen one day
Syria who has suffered from injustice for decades
Will soon deliver her baby-freedom while the whole world is witnessing
The rebuilding then will restart, as usual, from the ruins
And from the abyss, as usual, the climbing will start to the top
