Asylum
A bordered world
Patrolled by armed men
Radars, fighter planes, and ships
Seeking the blood of perceived enemies
Yet some of them breach the borders to bomb
Imaginary or futuristic threats away from the shores
Taking innocent Lives for no fault of theirs, but for greed
Dismantling the lives of millions in their own homelands
By making them refugees at the mercy of neighbors
Brave hearts risk their lives and march with a hope
Through tough terrains battling adverse weathers
Militants, Traffickers, rogue patrols and open sea
Holding breath against death at times of trouble
To reach a faraway safe land to start lives again
Seeking asylum away from shattered homeland
To live, work, and save every penny they can
To build a nest of safe future for themselves
And for uplifting lives of the loved ones left behind
With a wish for reunion someday in the new shore
