By Freweini Zerai,  Acting Project Director, the displaced project, Ethiopia

It started when one got divided,
And the whole got parted
It got worse, when the sides put their hands on critical issues,
So as to enhance the turbulence
And after this, the conspiracy starts
Hidden war devices are given and sold
So as to “bring peace reign”
And this is how it ended:
People were killed, families separated
Children got starved, youngsters were disabled
And houses were destroyed


It would have been better
If it didn't go any further
But it did!And we got displaced
Now we live either in camps or the streets;
In idleness and if lucky, doing daily labors
It’s been long since dignity and respect were our partners;
And fair treatment has been at our service
The sparkles of our steel houses
In the camps are left to rust
And we are at a-miss
