A Refugee

From home one can say he lives many a mile The tall dark skinned man from the banks of the Nile The home of the dangerous and fierce crocodile The amphibious reptile with death in it's smile A chief in his tribe and a celebrated man But that all changed for him when the war began And his wife and his children two boys and two girls in a massacre died By a callous and cowardly act his life dreams were destroyed In this far southern Country a poor refugee Yet of the fear of harassment he is now living free A man who once had the status of a king But due to war one who in his life has lost everything And perhaps he'll never again see the brown banks of the Nile The home of the hippo and the crocodile.
