REFUGITIVE CRYSIS

by dr. charles frederickson
	15 million stateless and counting
			Global population shifts forced migration
		Homeless pigeons tossed stale crumbs
	No win impasse future tense

Hordes of disenfranchised nobody cares
	Hidden away in cobwebbed corners
		Prey hanging by single thread
			No recourse to hang onto

				Dysfunctional loving families torn asunder
			Betrayed innocence toddlers self-help crawlers
		Disadvantaged youth deprived of childhood
	No man's land trespassers forbidden

Caught in limbo borderline standoff
	Teeming swarm mass poverty survivors
		Begging for mercy leftover discards
			No place to be somebody

				Bittersweet tainted lifeblood turned sour
			Indigent workers banished from hive
		None of anybody's business honeycombs
	No job prospects sticky wickets

Without citizenship basic needs unmet
	Overturned slippery welcome mats yanked
		In denial repatriation fearsome threat
			Nowhere to call own home
