I was six when they took me away

And I always regret the fact I said yes

Even when Valentine,

My sister,

The parson I love the most

Called me to come back to her

And said she love me forever,

I walked to the car

And drove to the launch

We were the wisest children on Earth

And I have been chosen to be the lonely one

"This is Ender Wiggin

He is the best in this launch

Don't mess with him

That's why you broke your arm, you stupid boy

Little boys have died in Battle School before"

That's what colonel Graf said

But he was wrong

I'm not a killer

I'm not Peter, my brother

In Battel School it's was me and a few more

Against Bernard and his gang

The French boy whose arm I broke

Bernard was a bully

Like Stilson

And like Peter, we were in the same room

But when eventually things got better

And I got a friend named Alai

I got promoted to the Salamander army

I hugged Alai and said that I don't want to go

So he kissed my cheek and whisper in my ear

"Salaam".
