Freedom For Syria... (What If) Poem by Sidra Mohammad

What if I said no more water and no more food
What if I said no more clothes and no more shoes

What if blood was to drip in every corner of your lands
What if you saw your child die in your own hands

What if you saw your house being broken
What if you died before you were awoken

What if your child went out and never came back home
What if it was you standing there facing an army alone

What if a child was blown apart right in front of you
What if that child was yours but there was nothing you could do

What if your parents were shot dead in front of your eyes
What if the whole world closed their ears to your cries

What if your mother was crying but you couldn't wipe her tears
What if your sister was naked but their was nothing to wear

What if your stone couldn't harm their tanks
What If bombs and bullets were to hit your lands

What if this was happening to you instead
What if one day you found your family dead...
