I am tuned in, Radio and TVs
News of death after death, death
Italy, Spain, world grieves in tears
Lives claimed by corona, no proper burial
Grief after grief, grief

NEXT CIRCLE
By Okelo Sejo – Kakuma Refugee Camp
There is time for more
And time for less
Time for war
And time to seek refuge
Time to collect ration
And time to starve
Problem is there is just no time

Poem: In the Mirro of Human Rights
Volume 1, Issue 5-6 / May-June 2009
In the mirror of human rights.
Born of mother and father;
Bears brand of sufferings;
Begs the for life;
Bound with chain of refuge;
In the mirror of human rights;
Refugees are born to suffer?
Delighted in the donors’ mercy heart;
Desired medical care, better feedings;
Discussed on table of agencies;
Disposed to extreme sun shine or coldness;
In the mirror of human right;
Refugees are born to suffer
Little is done to respect humanity of refugee;
Long it has taken;
Look! Some ask how a refugee looks like;
Light has come through sponsorship;
Lo! Government official were once refugees
Today you decide on the fate of refugees;
Tomorrow a refugee will decide on your fate;
Teach refugees the best you want them to do;
Tarry not your days are running;
In the mirror of human rights;
Refugees are sons and daughters of our society.
Neither by powers nor by rights;
Nature dictates you never chose;
Now African, American, European, Asian, or Australian.
Not knowing the origin is the same;
In the mirror of human rights;
Tell the world-is it charity or rights?
