escape their fate
souls entwined
with a desire
to escape their fate
ancestors
collectively mourning
lost childhoods
disparate people
drawn together
by shared suffering
stumbling
forward
into a new life

what not to do
but not what to do
attempting to avoid
the same mistakes
their parents made
desperately praying
for their children
to escape their fate
