Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Run, Run, Run quick young man,
Escape the evil extremist land,
Through the broken homes, past the empty cities,
To find the place where you are free to roam
Run Mother Run, Run with all you can,
Keep the children safe with everything you have,
For the promise of a new life, away from the hell of ruthless rule
In a safe place free from strife
Run Brother Run,
Find where your father speaks so hopefully towards,
Keep going, do not slow down,
You will fear no longer and need no boards
Run Father Run, Show your power and bravery
You must not let them down, everything is on you,
Slight instance of danger you must not let occur
So the ones you love, can rest peacefully for time without end.
