A Cry For Liberty Poem by Gerry Legister

We search for a rare providence of grace
With a colossal sum of gift from God,
Hope finds a way into the heart of every race,
Once entangled in a dreadful web.

Humanity the beast of slavery
Running a mile far from the fall,
Refugees cry out for liberty
Only a selected few will answer the call.

From the conscience with burden
Struggling to attain the human right,
Appeals find resolutions lay in shattered ruin
But from the abyss we emerged into the light.

Hearing refugees cry out for liberty
With the coalition of an inspired dawn,
Failed years were clouds of mastermind mystery,
Living by Treaties in boundaries authorities form.

But the healing balm is lost in mangled stance,
Generations ponder the length of time it took,
From bewilderment to an awesome persistent glance,
Nations wonder how the new decade will look.
