Refugee

pain an suffering in the subtle hell, 
where war an slaughter do so well,
 to go anywhere that's nice,
 a great step at any price, 
enjoy your new world belle...
 may happiness dispel,
 cos now you have a life :)

The need, "to go anywhere that's nice" is every refugee's hope, Don. Being collateral of wars, that's the one thing on their minds. Sometimes not for their sake so much but for their children. Enjoyed reading this. Always, Annalise
