His father died when he was ten
The family had no men
So he works in a carpenter workshop
He has no school
His eyes are cool
***
"Hey crazy monkey boy
Move don't look at me like a toy
Give me the hammer
And that wooden board
God may forgive your father
Why he named you Omer"
Said the carpenter with his cruel features"
***
Millions of children like Omer
Have no bed, no warm hugs
No words to say
About their dark way
***
Oh cruel world
Can't we have a break for mercy
To rescue Omer's childhood
***
