MOVING AWAY... Moving Away (March - April Activity) | Page 15

Subject : Moving Away ! by AIHONNOU Nathan

We have decided to flee Our country full of misery Because of they , the noblemen Not because of we , the civilians .

Our wonderful country , Teeming with goodwill and solidarity , Has seen its beautiful dove Pierced by a bullet .

War , war , war , What a typical human invention , Where the leaders are in safety And the people have to flee .

It is a heartbreak for me To let my father at the front , He , who gave us life , He , who will see his brother-in-arms lose life .

Now on the journey of our escape , We are all sad in the bus Mourning our family left in our country Under the bombings of these soldiers .

They have been indoctrinated , Sent like cattle at the front , Didn ’ t even know what they are doing , Like lost souls wandering . A semblance of peace , in this harmful world , Where interests get the upper hand over lives . But Hope needs to last , and Solidarity must exist If we want to overcome the hill and make justice .
