My country
I made you a battlefield
But now I will make you a green field
My country
I will keep you away from wars
I will rid you of all arms
My country
I hope you improve
I myself will prove it
Day and night I will try
Because I want to see you new
I don’t want any more fighting in my country
I want peace
I am tired of violence
I don’t want to be silent
My poor Afghan sister
You have seen a lot of disaster
And harshness against women
Afghan women!
Your dreams will be reality tomorrow
And you will be happy like a swallow
If you try to fly in the sky
Then you will never cry
Don’t think about the bad things
Just keep your eyes on your ways
You are the future of this country
And I will be the witness
By Mahsa, age 13
