We see the world with different eyes

(Written originally in English)

Part 1

A devilish scheme
of the heart of stone,
made by politicians
in cold blood:
a deportation line
for asylum seekers -
the children told -
in order to reduce
their growing flood.

In eyes of the children -
an alarm and a care.
In eyes of the parents -
an abyss of despair.
In eyes of the politicians -
only ice.
We see the world
with different eyes.

Part 2

We`re just the same
as all the rest.
We`re not the worst,
we`re not the best.
The difference is
we don`t have rights.
We have broken spirits
and watering eyes.

Our hearts are low,
our frights are high.
Despair grows tearing
our clouded minds.
Through years of waiting
and years of cries
we see the world
with different eyes.
