Refugee MAG
March 3, 2016
Gunfire fills the air
ducking for cover in hope
to see the next day.
The sun starts to rise
the fog and smoke start to clear
you wish it hadn’t.
What you see scares you
wish you had kept your eyes closed
dream to sleep again.
Your journey started
on your way to a new land
exasperation.
Running from the war
to a place that is better
blankly turned away.
