through all of the chaos
piercing the lips of my poetry
duped by the light of hope that never comes in
through the inquiry of the nearly defeated
as all the leaders play with paper dolls and tin soldiers
fear the tyrants rant
our beliefs become lies beaten and drummed by time
alone and lost down those dusty roads
and then the lost have to decide
to cross borders of the unknown
did we hear
are those cries and shrieks at night
is it pain from all of the refugees we hear
or,
are they our own
they are our own
Unimagine
making it to Greece and being sent back. Shrieks indeed! Ours indeed.
