Refugees
*Knock knock*
Borders: closed
Where will we go now?
Refugees
Waiting
Starving
Suffering
Dying
*Knock knock*
Are homelands in rubble
Where will we live?
No, not here
You aren’t welcome here
“Go back to where you came from”
But we lost so much getting here in the first place
Was it all for nothing?
Can’t you make space?
*Knock knock*
We’re humans
We can’t live on a waiting list
“We are overwhelmed with the number of immigrants. Give us time.”
Overwhelmed?
Update your laws
Organize your systems
This is your problem, not ours
But you wouldn’t understand
You’ve been safe your whole life
‘America home of the free’
*Knock knock*
Is today the day?
How much longer?

I had to read a book for school called "Everything Sad Is Untrue" By Daniel Nayeri. The book was so inspiring I had to make a poem :)
