I thought I heard you say
that life is precious
But then you turn your face away
from all these persons

How can you be so blind
and take the wrong for right ?
how can you say you care
and not mend this mistake?

Your mouth preaches love
yet you see the injustice and write it off
because it's more convenient
to forget your values when your help is needed.

You've seen their problems
you know their sorrows and their losses
but you have deemed these causes
worthless and broke your promises.

So come join hands and help them
listen to your heart, now is when
push away the learned indifference
actions, not words is what has significance.
This is a first draft of a poem exhorting people to stop being indifferent towards war refugies.
