9.3  | 

The siege came to us

and forced us off the land.

The siege then taught us English

and left us speechless.

The siege showed us its riches

and left us in poverty.

The siege dragged us to its school

and left us wretched.

The siege taught us its work

and left us unemployed.

The siege taught us its war

and left us murdered.

Buried us in heaps

and forgets

about us.
