Babies bred not on their ancestral ground
Yet children of conflict and conflicted
Some fare well although many welfare bound
Their lives constrained and future afflicted
Those responsible for instigation
Refuting population exodus
Refusing blame for the conflagration
While decrying the refugee influx
Generations of constant outsiders
Alien to birthright and human rights
Victimized by war and by inciters
No safe vision staring at the gun sights
Torn families striven by varied goals
Some settle down in their adopted land
While the rest are unsettled by Life’s tolls
Clinging to memories of their homeland.
