REFUGEES! - NEITHER FISH NOR FOWL! (A work In Progres)
Refugees of times past!Those time's bad back then!
Time's to day just as bad!
Time's tomorrow - going to be no better!
Times - not so much livening - just surviving - day to day!
Truth be known!
It's funny kind of truth - to be a refugee in your own country
Jobs are few and far between - paying real wages - salarys
Even fewer!
Political party's - extremist - fascist movements - all take advantage
Of the home growing situation - who have less and less to loose
So easy meat - to manipulate - to take it out on the refugees
looking for others to blame!
minds taken off the true coursers of what is going on!
Those who fled hear in the hope - nay expectations - hear they would be safe!
Free from wars - back where they had fled from!
Being blamed - for the situation - going on hear right now!
Fled - from being treed bad - very life's - threatened - family's - as well!
Some just because in some way diffarant!
Made their way hear - only to find - yet again - faced - so much the same!
Being a refugees comes in many forms
Homeless - unemployed - estrange - from family - friendless
A some - on coming across the refuge - maybe in a refuge!
Or sleeping in a doorway - passing while out walking
Neither fish nor fowl!
Strike up a conversation seance a kind of aura about the fellow
Difficult to put in to mere words!
Neither fish nor fowl!
Those in charge - well - or so they believe!
Government - who are voted in - and back in!
The voters - turn - away in increasing droves!
Turn towards extremes - only to find that alternatives - worse!
The faceless - bureaucracy - with faceless bureaucrats to boot
Who run the show!
No wonder there are those who feel they are refugees among refugees!
Now I have come I understand - all of that!
