Refugees


They came to this country 

seeking for saftey 

lightning, thunder, all around

soon the rain falls on the ground 

living with not enough food  

as a bird without wings 

people in the streets treating them rude

they came here to live 

not to murde, but to survive 

wanting to have better life 

wanting to be safe 

as they have been in their countries before war

willing to work hard 

willing to provide 

for their families they will to fight 

to get their rights they will demand 

their voices will be heard 

and actions will taking.
