Voice of victims

You killed my lover, my cherished environment and my dears

You fired my house built by my ancestors for many years

I lost everything nothing to bear

Came to your door find a peer

Alas! You closed the door calling me a refugee seeker.

You thought your power, your politics, and your future

I thought just to live like the other peaceful believers

Now you call me the ‘refugee’ a new identity bearer

But I don’t know who has been attacked and lost everything

without any allegation which name he should be a bearer

Whatever his name a human certain!

But you call me refugee who has no rights, no choice a basket curtain

Now it is assumed to you Refuges are not human but the alien!

Love cannot exist where humanity cries

Where there is no love there is no civilization

You hear the smallest sounds of billionaires

You fear the deprived their drop of tears

Please stop victimize the victims

We are human the best instinct

The path of self-progress

Be critical of your works

over your words

and over your thoughts,

To find the desired place

Best things help you

Cogitate remarks.
