Tragic that bombs now reign supreme
evacuate, leave for safety
but not all can get on the busses
Outside
tv stations and nations come in solidarity
Refugees welcome
The signs read
The literate students and the workers
Africans and Asians and others of the darker shade of human
get shoved and told to go their place
at the back of the line
or simply
GO “HOME”
ALL refugees welcome?
Maybe
but Africans and Asians have read between the lines
some refugees are more deserving than others
