Gavin Buttar - War Life Vs. Normal Life

We get up in the morning to enjoy a lovely breakfast
We get up in the morning to escape the gunfire

We go and play
We go and hide

We run and play games with our friends
We run and hide, in a shelter with our friends

We have lunch with our families
We perform a cremation ritual to our families

We listen to the music on our MP3
We listen to the bloodshed outside our shelter

We have dinner in peace, and silence
We have dinner caution, and suspicion

We say goodnight, before going to sleep
We pray to god, for mercy, before going to sleep

I’m a 9year old kid in Canada
I’m a 9year old kid in Cambodia
