The end of a dream

These days are very specially distressing.
People are running away from their birh-countries because the situation that they are living is simply unfair.
Their buildings have been destroyed, their living conditions have been eliminated.... They don't have anything and their life expectancy is lacking. They considered themselves like a broken toys. The exit from their country is the obvious solution to achieve the wellbeing that they have lost. But, when they decide to run away from the country, an old movement is waiting for them. Mafia (behind a new face, more calm and friendly), promises them a new life in a better world. They pay it their savings of all their life with the aim of finding a better world for them and for all their family.
In most of the cases, the tragedy is wainting for them, when they least expect it. When their dream of arriving to the new world .... they are the main actors of the tragedy, and with this act all their life and dreams are closed.
In my mind, the image of that child of 3 years lying on the beach.
Sometimes, we should think about our fortune of living in a safe country with our family, friends ... They don't have anything and surely they will not have anything, any life expectancy .... And if they find something to full their lifes, they will find a lot of problems. Not at the beginning, but after some days, months after their arrival.

  1. These days are very specially distressing.

    People are running away from their NATIVE countries because the situation that they are living is simply unfair.

    Their buildings have been destroyed, their living conditions have been eliminated.... They don't have anything and their life expectaTIONS(1) ARE lacking. They considered themselves like [] broken toys. The exit from their country(2) is the obvious solution to achieve the welL-Being that they have lost. But, when they decide to run away from theIR country, an old movement is waiting for them. THE Mafia (behind a new face, more calm and friendly) promises them a new life in a better world. They pay THEM their LIFE savings with the aim of finding a better world for them and for all their family.

    In most of the cases, [] tragedy is waiting for them, when they least expect it. When their dream of arriving IN the new world .... they are the main actors IN the tragedy, and with this act all their life and dreams are closed.

    In my mind, the image of that 3-year-old child lying on the beach.

    Sometimes, we should think about our GOOD fortune of living in a safe country with our family, friends ... They don't have anything and surely they will not have anything, any life expectancy .... And if they find something to fIll their liVes, they will find a lot of problems. Not at the beginning, but after some days, months after their arrival.


    (1) "Life expectancy" refers specifically to the number of years that one can expect to live. So it doesn't sound right that a life expectancy is "lacking". It may be quite low, however.
    (2) better: Leaving their country, Exiting their country
