Everything Lost

Courtesy: UNHCR

Nothing to hide
Because they lost everything;
The unhinging look in their eyes
Speaks volumes on life that’s empty,
Fleeing home they found an excuse
For a bettered sense of purpose
They threw their all down and fused
And then watch their lives decompose.

Live and let die
They’ve seen the end of everything,
Stuck in a rut it sure is tough to ride
Who gets school? Who reaps nothing?
The specter of inequality threw sucker
Punches and blew it right out the water;
You don’t get what you deserve life sucks
How do you start over when you lost it all?
