Your words give a voice to those who suffer from the results of war. You have a smooth flow of lines and verses which bring forth your theme in a strong way. The reader feels for these people and wishes that all wars on this earth would cease.

Comment from Wendy G
All we can do is try to alleviate their suffering as best we can within our own circle of influence, and do what we can to help suffering people to begin a new life in safety. Compassion is in short supply world wide but we must each do our best to offer it. When we know people, we don't fear them. I appreciate your fine and moving poem written from the point of view of a refugee, one who is suffering greatly.
Well done.
Wendy

Your poem was heartfelt and emotional. I, too, worry for the refugees. It's hard to know what to do. You have touched on a growing problem in a sensitive way. Thanks for sharing. :)

Your poem is a heart wrenching depiction of the struggles faced by refugees. The emotions you evoke are powerful. I think you have done a great job of bringing to light the difficulty of finding a place of safety and belonging. Thank you for sharing such a deeply touching piece.

Comment from Steve Foreman
This is a great poem, and describes very well the anguish of refugees. I have worked in several conflict areas where refugees and IDPs were part of my everyday life, and this poem sums up the situation very well. The first verse rhyming was a bit shaky, but other than that, well done!

Your poem highlights a massive problem in the world today and one that seems to defy solution. Monorhyme verses are not easy to handle but your rhymes generally work well. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from ESOSTINE
A strong and excellent poem, exposing the sufferings of refugees, their pains and silence of those who should care. Why do men make wars, but to steal, kill and dominate. Thanks for sharing your inspirations. Well done, dear Barry. Good luck in the contest.
