exodus

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 386

When people ...of the world

Suffer needlessly ...at the hands of evil

Unbearable hardship ...the current situation

Makes survival ...a losing argument

Migration ...begins to make sense

Seeking peaceful passage

Beyond the ever present danger

Guided by faith  in the unseen

Holding on to a dream

Perhaps of

Making a way

Where there is

 …no way

But circumstance

Will not allow such levity

When the extent of the catastrophe…

Becomes more than you can stand

Your ability to resist …continues to decline

Is undermined …beyond your capacity to withstand

Knowing you cannot long last …you plan to flee

Before the calamity reaches …critical mass

You secure what’s most necessary

…and flee with your family

To safety …hopefully

With

Limited choices

Death, nearly a certainty

What was known in the ancient past

As an exodus, migration or stampede

Depending upon the urgency

To those who stand directly in your path

You sometimes are considered a threat

A competitor for resources

Thus, from being regarded once…

As a valued member of the community

You become …an unknown

Whether accepted or…

A refugee
