Shadows of Our Borders

Title: Shadows of Our Borders

In the hush of twilight, lawmakers stand,
Gazing upon the vast and barren land.
They witness a scene, both sorrowful and stark,
As shadows of despair cross the border so dark.

An endless stream of souls in search of hope,
Scaling fences, crossing rivers, trying to cope.
Their weary eyes reflect a tale untold,
Stories of sacrifice and dreams put on hold.

Fear and desperation linger in the air,
While whispers of freedom dance with despair.
Yet the lawmakers watch, emotionless and still,
Ignoring their pleas, turning a deaf ear at will.

Families torn apart, hopes dashed and crushed,
Yet their resilience remains, unabated and flushed.
They brave the unknown, fueled by destiny,
Seeking refuge, a chance to be truly free.

Oh, the humanity lost in this tangled plight,
As borders become barriers, sealing their plight.
But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of light,
A call for compassion, ringing through the night.

Let our hearts be moved, let kindness prevail,
For empathy can bridge the widest divide, without fail.
May we be reminded that we too were once migrants,
And extend a helping hand to those seeking warmth on foreign lands.
