If we stay in our houses, they bomb us.
If we shelter in a school, they bomb us.
If we run to a hospital, they bomb us.
If we move into a tent, they bomb us.
If we go to a toilet, they bomb us.
If we run from an air strike, they bomb us.
If we do not do any of this, they still bomb us.
If we stay like a tree,
or temporarily leave like a leaf in the fall,
they bomb us.
But spring will come
and they, those who bomb us,
will find no bombs among
the flowers.
We will be on the trees bathing in the sun,
and they, those who bomb us,
will have no sun,
no place to rest,
no legs to run.

UNESCO Held every year on 21 March, World Poetry Day celebrates one of humanity’s
most treasured forms of cultural and linguistic expression and identity.: Practiced
throughout history – in every culture and on every continent – poetry
speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the
simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace. |
