Out of here... Back to Nowhere !!
I sit in a Quonset hut by the airfield waiting for the chopper coming from the hills, half praying that my personal things will be in the cargo hold, so that I can get out of here ASAP. Why am I so eager, I ask myself? So I can fly on metal wings and be in another place no different from the one I left a few days ago... same blank faces with deep, hollow eyes , mirrors of never-ending misery.
From the freezing rain and snowy mountains back to the arid desert below the Sahara, where camel-riding, gun-toting thugs pillage, and kill. Where the locals learned to arm themselves and eventually became no different from those they fight.
Why will I return? I suppose it is because I still want to see the smile of a when the pain goes away, the happiness of a woman knowing that her baby will not be born in a sand-swept makeshift tent somewhere. I have to return.. I want to return.
My family and dear friends to whom I gave the promise to forsake my vow: I ask for you to forgive this wandering soul. Do not wait for me. Someday you will see me at your doorstep and I will be home again !!
