"O meu país não é longe, não é do Oriente, nem pobre. É bonito e as pessoas sorriam. Fazia sol e as pessoas dançavam alegres. No entanto isso acabou. As muralhas de ferro e arame ergueram-se em redor das nossas fronteiras. Fechou-se ao Mundo. Ergueram-se campos e destruíram-se liberdades. Pessoas morrem de fome e alimentam-se exércitos. Crianças deixaram de sorrir, adultos deixaram de falar, adolescentes deixaram de viver, homens passaram a morrer diariamente no trabalho. O meu país caiu e o povo caiu com ele."
