Escape

It is difficult to leave poor countries
just thinking about travel is a dream or a fantasy
it’s complicated and almost impossible.

The sea is wide and terrifying
it will eat you up like shipwrecks
Give up the escape
please do not commit suicide
do not throw yourself in the huge sea.

That wonderful day will come
when you spit at the borders
dragging your bag towards Europe
leaving behind your life collapses.

You will learn the languages of rich countries
you will try hard to use the fork and knife
you will face the white world with fear
Because it won’t be as you expected
a piece of cake will cost you a lot
and that piece of life you dreamt of
will be divided by trains and buses..
and time passes fast everywhere
in poor and rich countries as well
so please
do not commit suicide
do not throw yourself from the bridge.
