Watch our faces, touched by pain and sadness.
Watch our eyes of absent hope.
Watch our hands, without willing to hold on.
Watch our bodies, hungrily corrupted, naked, shanking.
Watch our thoughts, empty and senseless.
Watch our families, broken by disappointment.
Watch our history: battered pasts, a present full of ignorance, a gloomy future.

-We are not asking for a fortress; but we'd like a home to shell us from rain.
-We are not asking for a royal feast; but we'd like some bread to save our kids from starvation.
-We are not asking for a luxurious piece of clothe; but we'd like some warm clothes to make our way through winter much easier.
-We are not asking for a tour across mountains, full of springs; but we'd like a bottle of water, to moinsten our throats.
-We are not asking for a model hospital; but we'd like basic medical attetion, to cure our wounds.
-We are not asking for a 24/7 body guard; but we'd like some hand to help us rise when we fall.
-We are not asking for acceptance; but we'd like to be respected


We are just asking for the peace and the trust, the love and the help we have never had to those who don't even know those exist.
