Tears of Joy

Day 13 prompt

      Tears of Joy

Once a refugee shouldn’t be refugee forever

Here he migrates to his country

Provided to him is his nationality Of the country he belonged with pride 


For years, he had flown tears

Made our soil fertile till his dried

Our rivers were full and crops in abundance

We shared with them as we do with our brothers


They were in thousands with uncertainity

Lived a life of nomads 

Homeless, still home everywhere 

He lived temporarily on jobs odd

Feeding stomach of his family

He tried to cover his roof with tarpaulins 

But he had to make a roof of ordinary blue plastic to save himself and his family from rain


No voice can be louder than voice of hunger

He can go to any extend to stop that voice

He fed his stomach with meagre food


Here comes our government

Signed an agreement

To send all refugees home 

With due respect 

They are welcomed back 

Offered a job to all

After a long will tears welled up in their eyes

This time those tears will be “ tears of joy.”
