Syrians And Their Mad Rush To Live Poem by James McLain

They are the many not unlike U.S.
whom in their rush try to cling to
what most here have taken for granted.

Philosophy giants thinkers not tyrant's
that wish to give to U.S.
so much more than many here
have in their lives to U.S. ever given.

Hope is not a life lived in quite desperation
and love
is not the loss of
what makes up humanity.

Talking heads that give no legitimate
thought out ahead reasons
where to many of U.S. here life is cheap.

The proof here
is all the man hunts that
you watch
while they have seen this coming
for many years and have done nothing
to change it.

Children that are forced to think like adults
and sadly hence
make better choices that are as clear
as the living water none
here ever drink of.

While most adults here in the U.S.
have no clear picture of where it was
that they came from
and hence have no clear thought to
where it is
that they are nor where it is they are going.
