Dislodged I have been
Camped in temp settlements
With no flag over my head
And I have seen it all
A country fragmented
Protracted in war
Villas shelled with mortar fire
Bodies dismembered
Innocent children bleed
Mothers maimed, raped
Dads separated
The elite abroad, frustrated
And the nation pillaged with greed
Its resources auctioned underground
For cash
In a dash
And for less
A nation on the brink of extinction
Its leaders too divided to agree on policy
And its people displaced, self-destroying
I know I don’t belong in this camp
I know I aint a-forever-refugee
I know I was born into a state
Sovereign, dignified,
But where’s my homeland
