The day before they came

Everything was the same
Who would have known
That ISIS would come to throne
My country, my home
The place I used to roam
They took it from me
When will they set us free?
I am in America, safe and sound
While all my family is bound
I am useless
Yes, I confess I am blessed
I don't hear gunshots everyday
I don't see people getting slayed
But I do, I do see
I see that my family is about to flee
I see kids dying
I look while crying
How can the raped feel
They had to kneel
Kneel to those dirty people or be killed
They love this they are thrilled
They took my religion and made it bad
They sell woman and that makes me mad, sad.
If that were me I would have been raped
Nobody can escape
Suicide or be raped, choose
I would choose suicide rather than abuse
Cursed with the bad
We always look for what we could never have


Freedom.
