Parting the Med

parting the Med {for refugees and exiles} the accounts passed down through the mouth and page no refuge for the refugees on the angry world's stage staffed "saviors" Kalashnikovs met on moonlit secret rendezvous refuge unknown where or what of dangers abound like Mogadishu fear rises as horizon glistens below thin moon and cirrus cloud gruff orders barked best listened predicting end in a watery shroud will sea part and allow passage will exile end in hopeful life will family danger's turn advantage can refugees leave behind the strife it's not about color or race more the pocketing of a last pelf best refuge just to die in place there just ain't no place else left behind only left with saddened maybe memories gone in future's denied but miracles hoped sometimes can happen too, miracles dreamed can be delight contemplate now the refugee's plight when sitting in comfort well satiated the next trek from a war-torn blight maybe our predicament to be emancipated © Goode Guy 2015-04-22
