A Poem: Beautiful Childhood
Beautiful Dream
Beautiful Childhood
Amazing dreams
Fruitful love
Tasty Ice cream
Being supported all the times
that is what I know from my childhood dream
life was easy I was crazy
Everyone used to laugh at me
when I was clumsy
We loved to see Tom and Jerry
Watching TV eating cherry
I did not know the world
I used to enjoy as much as I could
I was only getting tired
by only enjoying and laughter mood
Life had other plans too Which I never understood
Now all I know is rock and wood
On my way when I want to improve
Bearing pain and getting stronger
That is the real life my brother
Shir Aqa Sarbaz is an Afghan refugee living in America.
He recently started his first job working in an airport. At GCV+F we want to provide you with the voices of those truly affected by war. We aim to elevate their stories so that we can help bridge the civ-mil gap. We must learn to take responsiblity of the wars fought in our names, even if you don’t agree with them.
