TO PEOPLE

Hanin Solimann

TW: DEATH


I'm a 10 year old boy 

I love playing football with my little sister

She takes up all my time but she brings me joy

Today

I don't see her and I genuinely miss her 

Today

I found out she was killed by an air strike

Today 

Everyone can hear my tears and my screams

Where are you people? Where are you?


I'm a 56 year old man 

I'm happily married and we have a daughter 

I'm happily married and we had a daughter 

They took my daughter from me

They deprived me of her 

But I promised my brother to celebrate her birthday together

But she died the day she was born 

And she died before I could give her my present

Where are you people? Where are you? 


I'm a 47 year old man 

I'm a rescuer since I was 30 

I've seen a ton of injured people

I've never seen so many in 17 years 

I've never seen my colleagues die from saving injured people

I didn't know a rescuer had to trade his life for another 

Today is the day I understood

I'm a rescuer but who's going to save me?

I'm a rescuer but who's going to help me? 

Where are you people? Where are you?


I'm a 53 year old woman 

I feel lonely 

And I feel hungry

And I feel dirty 

And I feel thirty 

And I feel tired 

I opened the fridge today, again 

Hoping food would appear out of nowhere, again 

Screaming from seeing my son in there, again 

Where are you people? Where are you? 


I'm a 11 year old girl 

And I dream of mom and dad coming back 

I dream of eating vanilla ice cream with my brother 

I dream of listening to my nanna's stories again 

I dream of living without fear 

I've never heard a sound as loud and as scary as that 

The sound of tears 

The sound of pain

The sound of death

Where are you people? Where are you? 


I'm a 32 year old woman 

They took my house

They took my left eye

They took my soul 

And I've tried to leave 

I've tried to leave tremendously

I've tried to leave but it was all in vain 

And in the end

They took my life

Where are you people? Where are you?
