Citizen and refugee,
two opposites that distract.
Coined centuries apart.
Man made inventions on inhumane foundations.

Citizen and refugee
two by products of borders
Minted by power's heart
Systems built on God's quilt.

Citizen and refugee
two eyes on the same face.
Trained to remain counterpart
eyesight without foresight.

Citizen and refugee
two crutches of humanity
Held by hunger's craft
Limping and climbing through collapse.

Citizen and refugees have become
synonyms in crisis,
blueprints in bureaucracy
mirrors in mirage,
limbs of lies.
