POEMS

ABOUT PEACE AND WAR

By  polish students 

Kobylnica, january 2018

​

There is nothing left around us

Streets are empty and you can smell the fear

Ruins are all around, we hear the explosions, someone is yelling for help.

We don’t want this war, these fightings and suffering!

We are kids and our lives are getting worse and worse.

Dad has left and hasn’t come back.

Someone said that they bombed a shop where he used to work.

Everything turns down like a house of cards

Today you have the house, family

Tomorrow these things are worthless.

We want peace, parents next to us, friends and happiness

Going to school and house full of guests.”                                                                                                                                   Basia, 13 years old

​

The morning is not the same

The fear is in our every cell

Bombs, guns and violence is around us

Our daily routine is not to trust.

Children are afraid of every shot

Are you our friend or maybe not.

We want to sleep in our peacefull house

Where we live together, a cat chases the mouse.

Where everyone is happy, not aware if someone is knocking the door

 

Where we spend time merily and playing board games on the floor.

No blood in towns, no armed soldiers on the streets.

Those things aren’t missed.

Let us be happy, let the sun  shine on the sky that is blue

We want to spend time with our parents and our relatives too.

​

We - children want peace not a war.

The war destroys everything, we lose our mums, dads and houses.

And the soldiers only fight, like machines.

The peace makes us feel safe and happy.
