our feet move languidly
past ashes we once called home
and pulverised spirits we called family
leaving behind oceans of crimson
the shoreline witnesses
creaking while we mount death boats
the desert sympathises
as we tread towards camps
that reek of blood and pain
you refer to us as “displaced”
after you devoid us of our lands
and have stripped away our freedom
but our journey comes to no end
for hope is our only raison d’être
in this abyss of ruins
In honour of millions of refugees around the world. My thoughts go out to you, and i hope for a world free of war, persecution and apartheid. A world filled with love, compassion and justice.
