Tears of a Refugee Child
Born into suffering
Born to be malnourished
Born in the bush
Born on the run
Born under the umbrella of poverty
Born to be a refugee
Born in the middle of despair
Born in worries
Born in the frightful time
Born with the horrified blood
Son of the scream
Daughter of bombs
Sister of landmines
Brother of war tanks
Grandson of affliction
Born to see death at infancy
Born to either die or escape death by a nose
Son of the land of chaos
Daughter of the nation of affliction
Born to suckle sorrow
Born to be a refugee in his own land
Born to be a refugee in her own land
Born to suffer at infancy
Born to worry of chaos and admire peace which won’t come soon
The tears of a South Sudanese child
