Refugee Poem by Babajide Aina

Refugee



Refugee is not a name like Paul or peter
Which stand for baptismal name?
Passion flow when I remember my cradle
Place of birth the root of man
Displacement, loneliness, deprivation, poverty
Why? Are the question and conditions
Destiny or fellow man?
Sunshine raises question
Mountain return to history
Though, better are other places
But…
Poverty or wealth
War or peace
East or west
No place like home
No place like home
Second fiddle is not a life
