Terrors Children (Free verse) by BrandonW

We are refugees, terrors children. Pakistan is not our home. I work the streets - just to eat, And to support my family. Bringing water, weaving carpet Collecting garbage from the streets. I'll shine your shoes, I'll wash your dishes Some nights - I still do face defeat. No education, or higher learning Pray religon; it finds me. Away from homeland - distant border A foreign sand... under my feet.

This is definately a step in another direction for me. I write of my experiences, and what I know. Though the other day I watched a show entitled, Terror's Children on the Discovery Times Channel. And I just so happened to write down this poem immediately afterwards. I know nothing of being an unwanted Afghani immigrant. You are absolutely right, this poem was very simple with no emphasis on one particular thing. This was just my simple interpretation of what I had just seen.

By the way, Thanks
