A Poem About Liberty


This poem about liberty explores the fragile nature of being human while fleeing one's homeland in fear of persecution.

These displaced souls must endure a different kind of suffering as their very survival hangs in the balance.


A Poem About Liberty



Mirage


Overloaded with the stench of death and disease
Privacy relegated to thoughts
Hope turns doubtful in a floating mass
As hunger thunders like waves
Rolling in pangs of regret
Escaping peril while courting danger
Like an animal, the trap is set
Tired eyes blink upon the horizon
How far can rescue be
A mirage of uncertainty
Swallows the spirit
What price the right to liberty
