Child Refugee

War and violence push you so moderate Through deserts of horror and desolation Your innocence of tortured and desperate Child deprived of any play and consolation Limited plays have now been stopped by your tears Wounded by snares of atrocities and fears Afraid you rushed to your mother always near But one day you no longer found her hug here Unknown designs of wickedness and death Carved in your young mind with undefined depth To lead your innocence of child in despair Towards tears nobody seems to be aware Seas separate your solitary soul From innocence and joy yet to extol Joy and hope unaware to play a role Forget the restless war hard to control Gunfire around taking lives as a knife Menacing the refugee camps and life One day you wanted to leave the damned strife Joining a refugee caravan at the age of five Waiting for you an unknown and blue sea Shouting from children aiming to be free On a boat overcrowded to an extreme degree Desperate cries of babies who disagree The stench of a lifeboat burnt by the hot sun Flooded with moisture and pierced by a gun Floating on desperation from shores to shun Hope of elsewhere alive through bites of a bun Now the cool breeze of present and peaceful countries Framed by courteous horizons and olive trees Scented by flowers and designed by flies of bees Seagulls floating on peaceful and emerald seas The peace of skies and the landed queue Disembark on shores here to welcome you As a child who is worth of caring eyes And a warming love which has full supplies
