Poem To The World / myLot

March 10, 2022 6:04pm CST

I wrote this poem some years ago when there was another crisis involving people fleeing their country. We are all members of the human race; Who sets the pace? Who decides what trials we face? In some countries people live peaceful lives; In others, conflict and mayhem continue to rise. Thousands flee their homes every day; Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay. Tired and drawn, unhappy and worn; Some dragging battered suitcases with handles broken or torn. I think of the children deprived of a home; The many children who are forced to roam How l wish the world would become a better place; Embracing every member of the human race. Pixabay image

It came from the heart. It is really upsetting to me when l see what other people must endure. I count my blessings every day.

I think you've done really well with this. It must be awful to be trying to find a new country to make a home in.

Thank you. Some leave home with just a few necessities. Everything else is left behind.
