Before, my village had prosperity and good homes for Laotian rice farmers. This led to much progress for our wide land. But then came the present time, as we and our ricefields were hit by the planes and burned; our homes were hit and burned, our belongings completely lost. I think back and within me tears want to fall. But there are not enough. For I have fled from the village of my birth.
