Refugee

I am a refugee of war,

Walking on edge of my fate.

On my back carrying some belongings,

On one hand my little baby,

With the other pulling my little Violet.

She is sick, hungry ,and tired,

Walking miles crying Mami wait.

But I am in hurry ,

To escape the missiles shower zone

While Death opening mouths

from every sides.

Which one should I take care of?

The starving of hunger and fatigue,?

The disease of cholera?

The slashing cold wind?

The fall of the snow or the snakes of the forest?

Or to watch my steps not  to enter

Into a farm of Dynamite?

Or bombs of enemy or friend,

Which might on heads of evacuees vacate?

Some body please tell me which way to go

Borders are all closed

And soldiers with machine gun at the gate

 

My fancy dreams all gone with wind

And my hopes did evaporate.

Dreaming of happy life, nice home

School for children no more

In my mind does it fit.

All my wishes now reduced to:

A warm shelter  and hot food,

One dish for me and for my daughter  one plate.

 

Who are those who brought  this disaster?

Killed thousands, destroyed cities,

Forced millions their homes to evacuate.

Do they have hearts ?

Does human blood in their system circulate?

 

I am refugee of war

And unknown stranger in else state

Home ,food, school for children are given here.

But I lost my pride and etiquette

May be I was poor in my native town,

But was proud walking like a queen

My head on my shoulders up and straight.

All faces were friendly

All were sisters all were brothers

All were town-mate

Here I am shrinking under the whipping look

Of the  Racists loaded with hate

Some times they throw,

An insulting word like a bullet

It tears off the heart of dignity

Which I can not tolerate

Which I can not tolerate
