Hasan Alkhayer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hasan Alkhayer (died 1980) (Arabic حسن الخيّر) was a Syrian poet born in Qardaha, Syria.
He was known for his abomination of sectarianism and for his altruism. He was a candid voice of patriotism. His most famous work is a poem called "What Do I Say?" in which he sarcastically and invincibly criticized both the austere regime and soulless and sanctimonous militant terrorists who together crippled life in Syria in late 1970s and early 1980s. He was kidnapped and killed, probably by the regime, in 1980. His body was never located. This fate made him known by some in the Arab world, though not in Syria, as the Lorca of Arabs. It's not known much about other works by him. Alkhayer may have been an Alawite.
