They Are Homeless Poem by George Shadrack Kamanda

They Are Homeless

Rating: 5.0


Some have detached roofs over their heads
Some have broken bricks to cover their homes.
And Some are moving about in disarray,
Just like the life they live in,
And that, a masterpiece display of the lives they live
…………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………….
From Sun rise to sun down,
Children rattle their parents for food
From Morning to night,
Back and feet are tied in the forest
And yet, harvest season blinks just like a beaming headlight.
And that, A symbolic view of their everyday lives
………………………………………………………..
………………………………………………………
At nights, Filthy streets they lay
In the morning, terrible conditions they stay,
All just to make a way.
And yet, they hustle in disarray,
With signs of progress far away.
And that, the reality of their humanity.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I dedicate this poem to all the migrants making their way to Europe. I wrote this poem while interning and studying abroad at the European Parliament in Brussels. As a reaction to the struggles, migrants faced all to make their way into Europe. I want the international community to see their plight from a socio-economic level and render a helping hand to these people. As a migrant myself, it mind-blowing seeing my people suffer.
