Around me, there was war,
No one was safe.
Many of us grew poor,
With nothing left to give.
Education was a distant dream,
Children picking up guns,
Trying to stand their ground, extreme.
No longer peaceful sons.
Death surrounded me;
Life could not be revived.
Patience was no longer the key,
With no chance to survive.
We, the Liberians, are in desperate need—
Please help us sow a new era's seed.-
