They’re here because of your war–
that war you forgot,
that war your soldiers fight
away from your sight,
a war that is neither for peace
nor for a righteous cause,
a war without end
a war whose beginning is buried
in time,
a war fomented by leaders
who escaped war
by dodging their draft,
a jingoistic war,
a war exacerbated by the meddling
of global power brokers,a war not of their making,
a war slaking
the thirst of the global war industry,
they lost everything
in your war,
and now you say
when they come to you for refuge–
“My land–
not yours.
Out!”
You–the terror in their land,say you don’t want them–a terror in yours.Usha Nellore
