Poem: Refugee

I have a right

A right to freedom

A right to free sight

And a right to a new kingdom

However, our ‘saviors’ have fallen short

Promises of a new life burns in the sun

They’ve prepared a veiled fort

And greeted us with guns

“They just keep coming”

A navy blue soldier centers

“We’ll just keep them trucking”

“And move them to our refugee centres”

My name is Penife

And I have a right

To a better promised life

Within the land of fake broken lights

- Max

Hey all, this poem elludes to the idea of how refugees aren’t given what’s been promised within Australia. Not attacking or taking sides, I just wanted to write something. Thank you all.

Keep tuned for more to come...
