Refugees

Refugees

Bowing their heads as they go

Shoulders drooped

Discouraged

Tattered

Empty and stressed

Looking for something to save them

Longing for peace

Longing for rest

Battling out of the swift pollution

Crawling up on the shore

Bound for chains and slavery

Bound to suffer more

If only I could save them

There’s no choice but passing on

The time of escape from the horror

Slipped away and is gone

Men and women

And babes in arms

Feeble

Not able to stand

Clinging to some battered treasure

Some are walking

Some are wavering

Some groping forth

On their hands

And their knees

Refugees
