Uncertain future forÂ
Rohingya Refugees Children
Amidst the turmoil and strife.
In World Largest Refugee Camp, a dire life.
For Rohingya refugees, so young and small.
Their future uncertain, with no end in sight to this fall.
From Rakhine , they were forced to flee.
Genocide they witnessed, a tragedy to see.
Myanmar, their homeland, now out of reach.
Their rights ignored, with no one to beseech.
In makeshift camps, they struggle to survive.
With little hope, their spirits are barely alive.
Everyday a battle, to find food and shelter.
Their stories one of loss, pain, and helter-skelter.
But still they dream, of a better tomorrow.
Of peace and safety, free from sorrow.
We must stand with them, and give them a voice.
And support their rights, and make the right choice.
For almost 52% they are just children, with so much to give.
And deserve a chance, to truly live.
Let us welcome them, with 0.
Amidst the ruins, where once stood homes.
The ashes of memories, and shattered bones.
The Rohingya people, a genocide they faced.
Their lives torn apart, in a brutal and senseless waste.
In Cox's Bazar, they now seek refuge.
A World's Largest refugee camp, their only refuge.
But the future seems bleak, and hope is hard to find.
As they struggle to survive, in a state of mind.
Where everyday is a battle, just to survive.
With no end in sight, to this hopeless life.
They fled with nothing, and were denied their rights.
A people displaced, with no end in sight to their plight.
But still they dream, of a better tomorrow.
Of peace and safety, free from sorrow.
We must stand with them, and give them a voice.
And support their rights, and make the right choice.
For they are human, just like you and me.
And deserve a chance, to be truly free.
Let us open our hearts, and welcome them back.
And work towards a future, where love and peace begins.
