Asylum Seeker Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal
Asylum Seeker
Asylum seeker
Friday.1st February 2019
Maybe some people going abroad
for making better life inroad
but asylum seeks are different
they have a different story to present
either they are tortured in the native land
or their presence is felt unfriendly
their life is threatened with dire consequences
or they may be imposed with sentences
under such circumstances, they have no other option
but to flee from their own nation
seek asylum and ask permission
it depends on the choice of other nation
such people are either detained in the prisoner camp
or their most of the life is spent in concentration camps
think of fate when such person excels in the literary field
