Tamer Hossam Poet ABC

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 
Tamer Hossam
