Casablanca- From a destitute, homeless Syrian kid eating cardboard on the sidewalk, to a homeless, angelic little girl selling gum in the street, Syrian children are still paying the price of tyranny.
After a heartrending video of a homeless Syrian kid eating cardboard on the pavement went viral on social networks, the picture of a little, green-eyed Syrian girl selling gum in the street of Jordan’s capital, Amman, has now stirred the compassion of all those who have come across it.
“She’s the Mona Lisa of modern times,” Algerian writer Ahlam Mosteghanemi captioned the girl’s picture she posted on her personal Facebook profile. “She’s a priceless portrait, painted not by da Vinci, rather by the brush of poverty and homelessness. None can tell whether she is smiling or crying by the look in her eyes.”
“Her look will cling to the hearts of anyone who sees her, and the tears she did not drop will be those of anyone who sees and prays in secrecy, ‘May God protect her from the claws of all heartless, human beats as she roams alone in the dark woods of life,” read Mosteghanemi’s caption.
The little girl’s beautiful, sparkling eyes speak a crying nation’s hope, and her smile and angelic face speak all Syrian children’s innocence and lost childhood, in the ravening abyss of tyranny.
