Exile, Yet Again

Exiled
To find refuge 
From our refuge

What deserts
Shall we wander
Looking up

At the sky
Hoping that it 
Is as empty

Of missiles, 
Bombs, drones
As of justice?

How shall we
Pretend, smile 
And lie

Knowing 
There are
No amends

That iniquity
Lives in perpetuity
As we do not?

Questioning
Is orphaned
Without answers

Naked as a child
Emaciated past the hope
That is food
