Refugees
you call us refugees
how dare you
we're your casualties
we're running from your hells
how come it never rang you conscious bells
we're the Syrians ,we're the Yemenis
we know beards and burqas it's strange
strange as your drones and the bravery of being out of range
you'll never know what we've been through
trying to get to you
to tell you what GI Joe and his cronies do
you see we thought we're all humans
forgot you were silent when the japs tasted Truman
we don't want your jobs
after all we're not Samsung and Steve jobs
why are you avoiding our eyes
do you buy your MSM and it's lies
we're guilty of having oil under our feet
for you it's pipelines
for us it's bloodlines
you've been fluoridated
we're being eradicated
you and your deafening silence
