Refugee

refugee
man
woman
child


crossing oceans
tracks
pushed back
by fear

crossing rivers
so cold
pulled forward
by hope


crossing the railway line
this is mine
torn apart
by greed

crossing the border
I am hungry
I need a home
can you refuse

pushing closer
pulling together
tearing the bread
giving refuge



in the dark woods
close to creation
will we find help
will clarity prevail
