A Plea Those who persecuted have no home And starving children, let them come to us Let us help them to stand up Accept their plight do not preach or moralize Always think it could have been you In dire situation running away from war And strife, lack of food and basic freedom If you are a European your grandparents Likely where refugees external or internal Help the poor as you wished others would Help you when needed Arrogance and pride have no place in your Heart they are cuckoos in the nest of love A reserve you will need some day.
