Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?
This journey’s taking ages.
This journey’s taking ages.
I’ve been on this flight for hours!
I’ve been on this boat for days.
This plane is far too crowded. Why didn’t we get Business Class?
This boat is far too crowded. I need the toilet, and there’s nowhere to go.
There are 50 people waiting to go to the toilet! Why did my mum tell me to go?
There are 200 people on a boat made for 10. Why did they push me on if they knew it was going to be too full?
The flight has landed! Out of my way, people, I want to get out of here!
People are moving about and they boat is swaying. ‘Stop it!’, I yell, ‘You’re rocking the boat!’ I wish I could get out of here.
The customs took two hours! Now the pool at the hotel is closed and I can’t go swimming anymore.
Water is starting to fill the boat, and I can’t swim.
Oh god no, Mum, don’t hold my hand in public! I can cross the road by myself!
Mum, hold my hand, I’m so scared that I’ll get lost in this crowd.
Where’s the taxi? Mum? Dad?
Where’s my little sister? Mum? Dad?
The hotel is really nice! The beds are really soft, and the pillows are fluffy. I feel a bit tired, I think I’ll go to sleep now!
My arms and legs are numb. I am floating on the water. I feel a bit tired, but if I fall asleep I’ll drown.
Goodnight! I can’t wait for tomorrow!
Goodbye. I don’t know if there will be a tomorrow.

We take many things for granted, and we should never do that. There are people out there dying to have even just half of what we have. Those refugees that are being forced to leave their country, imagine if that was you. You have been blessed with a comfortable life and a safe home, you need to be more thankful. So next time, when you’re going on a long journey in your car, sat on your heated seat, think twice before complaining and asking, ‘Are we there yet’?
