We’re The Dream Diggers

Refugee camps are pearly dark graves of dreams, 

And we’re the dream diggers; 

We’ve been frustrated and frosted to dampen our streams, 

Frittering on frisking us as if we have daggers.

Refugee camps are pearly dark graves of dreams,

And we’re the dream seekers; 

Like tornados, our life is turbulent in turmoil, 

Coiling and toiling books, 

With hope to leak the confined barriers, 

For you’re but oblivious, 

That travel documents are as blighted as the great wall.

Refugee camps are full of snags and hitches, 

We’re the solution influencers, 

And human rights claimant; 

There is a need for a gesture of SOLIDARITY 

For the resolutions towards our goal.

….

(Self-translation from Swahili)
