You Are a Refugee

Some of you know it.
Some are forced to know,
Some punished for it,

Some obsessed with it.
Well enough. There will
Be more, many more.

And, of course, some think
You’re no refugee.
You were born here. You

Belong. Ancestors
Were born here. You were
Here first, always here.

You will never be
A refugee. You
Are a refugee.
