For all displaced persons. 

I see dead people
Still breathing but like pimple
On the face of the earth
Cause we erased principle.
Like living substance of death,
They are situational zombies.

We call ‘em refugees
They go ahead of us
Straddling our vain conceit
To report our bloodlust
How we downgrade human dignity
And upgrade hateful wars.

I see displaced persons
Burnt twigs snatched from the fire
Our yet-to-be-learned lessons
Feels like I’m preaching to the choir.
If this situation is critical
Response ought to be reciprocal.
