Migrants Plight Poem by Paul Sebastian
Migrants Plight
War bloodied homeland we left
Seeking refuge in a foreign land
Our sons killed, leaving us bereft
Saving family members, while we can
No place to call home
All our savings taken
Starkly death before us loom
Our spirits shaken and broken
Arms out-stretched we ask acceptance
A temporary make-shift shelter to stay
To subsist, some sustenance
And count blessings of each living day
The wise said: 'All men are brothers'
Blind to origin, background and colour
Dignity proper as God's primed creatures
Till our return to homeland when it's over
Men of goodwill would stand proud
Having shared love, as people of God

War and natural disasters compel people to leave their homeland.... Once they reach another country with no belongings and no dear ones, if they are cruelly denied subsistence, the plight of these refugees would be miserable! But if people are large hearted and see everyone as members of the same fraternity and show acceptance and concern, it would be godly and a laudable gesture! Great write!
Wars dislodge mind and body and almost nothing remains and when one experiences in homeland it's more than painful hence one seeks refuge in foreign land for a temporary respite and there if one gets love and compassion to live life that's a blessing and we will say humanity is not dying.......a very touching poem crafted very nicely
