MAD MEN

One step, two step and millions more.
Thousands of miles before the shores.
We laughed through our walk to keep us going.
Our destination and welcome truly unknowing.
To travel back is clearly not an option.
Bombs and despair with no sign of stopping.
Friends sing songs from our once nation.
Seems hollow, lost; perhaps half forgotten.  
We chime in his rhythm our voices shaking.
Courage still here although it is quaking.
Friends fall behind with a cry we'll catch up.
Never to be seen after not quite a shock.
We're met at the boarder guns drawn by soldiers.
The song is broke and our men move forward.
Yelling erupts and then there is fighting.
Screams for safe passage while children are crying.
Tear gas and gunfire then we were fleeing.
Tired and wiry from the fate that we're seeing.
We cradled our children and stifled the blows.
Waited and waited for days set to go.
No food or water; a risk must be taken.
The men ran for the border they were all shaking.
We ran for our lives for that's what were staking.
To be free of our bonds imposed by this war.
Madmen and resource squabbles no more.
Let us seek happiness just like you do.
A way to survive for our people too.
This is the only way that we'll survive.
Breaking your borders and tearing the binds.
Your safety is false just as ours were.
You're fooled by the men that set our curse.
Borders are cages you built yourself in.
but no one can save you when the madmen come in!

Point....?....Don't create mad men and there wont be any!
