Borea

No refugees, they shriek,

they must go somewhere else,

anywhere else,

they must fight wars they are fleeing,

they must stay in refugee camps near home,

they must die of disease epidemics

or just plain cold while trying to cross borders,

they must drown while trying to cross

from one continent to another,

they must be forgotten in huge refugee camps

or lodged in corners of existing ones,

hidden in abandoned subterranean garages.

They must go somewhere else,

anywhere else,

to white or blue death

but they must go somewhere else

because here we have no compassion,

here we have no conscience,

here we have no empathy,

because here we have no humanity left,

we have no humanity left in us.
