Domestic Refugees

The victims of Hurricane Harvey Are unfortunate refugees Anybody can easily become homeless Destitute and powerless We are living at the mercy Of the Almighty We are all refugees. Please pray for all refugees For all the victims of silly wars For all the victims of Mother Nature We are all refugees Of circumstances And victims of nuisances Please, pretty please Help our brothers and sisters And pray for all victims Let's be on the same team Let's play in the same team We are all refugees. We do not need to cross borders In order to become refugees Domestic refugees Do not need to cross frontiers Jump over walls or barriers God did not create borders Man always wants to put up walls To create chaos, hindrances Obstruction, impediments Restriction, limitation Barricade and confusion Mother Nature knows no boundaries No colors, no borders, and no walls The sky has no limits, no tall walls No impediments and no frontiers All walls will eventually fall Please unite to build bridges We are all refugees.
