We Take Time (To Live) Poem by Zyw Zywa
We Take Time (To Live)
It is going well, we are driving fast
away from where the bombs fall
Fatima's hand sways move move
We are many
stronger than the rules
we break through them
to a rich country, not a monastery
we do come to live slowly
but we bring our own rules
We want to work, take time
to learn and get married
to have a future
and to give it
to our parents
who did not believe in it
