It's so sad
said the little woman
queuing in the line behind me.
It's so sad
said the woman.
They stole my son
they raped my daughters
they made merciless soldiers
of my grandchildren.
They burned my village
and savaged our country.
It's so sad
said the little woman behind me.
They got medals
they got parliament seats
and we are still on the run.
Scattered in the East
thrown in the West
disappeared in the South
and queuing for mercy in the North.
It's so sad
said the little woman with a pale smile.
