Refugees (NaPoWriMo Day 23)

They’re weary and they hunger so,

escaping from a brutal war,

and all they want’s a place to go.

 

If you just listen, you would know

they’ve risked so much to get this far;

they’re weary and they hunger so.

 

They didn’t want to leave, and no,

It doesn’t matter who they are

‘cause all they want’s a place to go.

 

They left their land with kids in tow,

to flee on foot, by boat, by car;

they’re weary and they hunger so.

 

They need a chance to live and grow,

a land beneath a different star,

and all they want’s a place to go.

 

Unlock your heart that you can throw

a lifeline to them from afar.

They’re weary and they hunger so.

Will you give them a place to go?
