Sunday Morning Prayer

Am on my knees Father Bearing in mind that you never sleep Crying for those trapped in a foreign country Dark days have befallen them Equality rules broken, screwed humanity Frequent hunger, little or no pay and slaving labour Golden days are over for them Having greener pastures and better opportunities Is a dream that burnt on their arrival Just want to go back home, even in poverty Keeping their fingers crossed, for safe arrival Looking forward to getting out of captivity, passports in hands Making every effort because there is no place like home. *For those suffering in places like Lebanon, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain etc. After going for better opportunities/jobs but they end up in the hands of mistreating employers. They sign long contracts and their documents are taken. There are many cases of abuse and neglects, some reported & some unreported. NB: not all employers are like that & there are those seeking greener pastures that come out satisfied*
