A Kite

I
                                                  Wish
                                               I could fly
                                        Like a kite in the sky.
                                     Because each time I see
                               A kite, it reminds me of freedom.
                         Each time I see a kite, it define a free bird.
                  I wish I could fly like a free bird, I wish I could fly
                      To the skies that heart desires. I wish I could
                         Fly to the town, where my heart belongs
                                I wish I could fly like a kite, to a 
                                   Sky where I could express 
                                       Freedom and Liberty 
                                            I wish I could
                                               Fly a kite
                                                   In a
                                                  clear
                                                   Sky.

          I wrote this piece remembering my childhood life as a refugee.

It was in 1988 when Saddam Hussien"s regime started the Anfal campaign of killing kurds in Iraq. That is when my family had to leave Kurdistan to a saftey. We end up in United Nation's High Commander for Refugee Camps in Pakistan. I was 6 at the time, and when we left the refugee life I was 16, my entire childhood life :(
