We can all be refugees

Nobody is safe,

All it takes is a mad leader

Or no rain to bring forth food,

We can all be refugees

We can all be told to go,

We can be hated by someone

For being someone.

I come from a great old forest

I think it is now a field

And the people I once knew

Are not there now.

We can all be refugees

Nobody is safe,

All it takes is a mad leader

Or no rain to bring forth food,

We can all be refugees

We can all be told to go,

We can be hated by someone

For being someone.

“We Refugees” – an essay by Hannah Arendt

If we are saved we feel humiliated, and if we are helped we feel degraded. We fight like madmen for private existences with individual destinies.

“We Refugees” – an essay by Hannah Arendt

[coinywords]

A man who wants to lose his self discovers, indeed, the possibilities of human existence, which are infinite, as infinite as is creation.

Hannah Arendt

We Refugees

[coinywords]

Brought up in the conviction that life is the highest good and death the greatest dismay, we become witnesses and victims of worse terrors than death -- without having been able to discover a higher ideal than life.

Hannah Arendt
