They killed in the village before my eyes.

Four days I could not speak.

Four days I was mute.


 

Until I understood.

Nobody expects anything from anybody.

And anybody can do anything to anyone.


 

No matter how much older I grow,

How grown up I will be,

When I am uneasy and full of sorrow,

I will wish my mother by my side.

But I am hopeless

When it comes to the world.
