3) It needs Courage
It needs courage to build a school !
It needs courage to touch children’s hearts !
It needs courage to welcome homelessness !
It needs courage to stand with us in one line !
It needs courage to open an educational house !
It needs courage to give hope for hopelessness !
It needs courage to give pens to those that have never touched a pen before !
It needs courage to paint the black and white world of the wounded !
It needs courage to advocate from silences !
It needs courage to give shelter to others !
It needs courage to stay a human !
It needs courage !
It need courage
BECAUSE ….
It’s easy to destroy !
It’s easy to break hearts !
It’s easy to shout at the silenced !
It’s easy to close your eyes on truths !
It’s easy to hurt those who have been hurtled many times !
It’s easy to sit aside !
It’s easy to show your power against weaknesses !
It’s easy !
It’s easy !
But , we will never give up !
We will build again , stronger than before !
We will help again more committed than before !
We will bring happiness and stay happy , happier than before !
We will make islands free
(Parwana Amiri)
I wrote this poem . when the “school of peace” was burned by an unknown group that was told, it was a group of facists in Lesvos island.
