A Boy Wants To Be A Hero (Poem)

A Boy Wants To Be A Hero

 

A boy wants to be a hero becomes a terrorist

Heros are good, terrorists are bad

Even if both are murderers

We have been taught that since we were babies

 

The boy was born in a place where oil comes

Strangers come and steal oil, once it is drawn out,

Mothers look for food, fathers look for enemies

Oil doesn’t give anything to eat to the nation

Except causing them sorrow and poverty

 

Children are crying for nothing,

But developing hatred inside of them

Love is expressed through their hatred

Against the strangers who took everything

For their mothers and for their fathers,

But not for their god who can’t help them

 

ただ、ただ、今日は悲しい。バルセロナでの出来事から考えてしまう、人間の性質全体が悲しい。
