Diaspora

No refuge here
Just bitter cheer


Search now in vain
Kind words said plain


Cliques and cliches
Odd word croquet 


Islands of stress
A savvy mess


Not much for laughs
Broken mad stuff


Loss that now pokes
Sad burden yokes


Once a big tribe
Scattered once ripe


Not much to say
A wind-blown way
