The day it began, no one escaped – Lives systematically being reshaped; A homeland of riches and so many dreams, Like many before, came apart at the seams Through cant and corruption and everyday lies. Something was surely about to arise. Nothing was organised, there was no plan; The day became dark, and the killing began. Neighbours and friends that he thought that he knew Stood in a drunken, disorderly queue. His wife and his daughters were raped and then killed And blood ran in rivers wherever it spilled. They stripped him, then started all over again – Scarified him with a rusty old chain – And finally left him for dying or dead. The madness ran deep; the insanity spread. He took to the woods while he still had a chance, Weakened and traumatised, still in a trance; Riding by night on the roof of a train, He finally made it to sparser terrain Where he met fellow-travellers who told of escapes From the mass executions and the genocide rapes They drifted through frontiers like so many ghosts, Always avoiding the frontier posts. The refugees searched in the local bazaars For clothing to hopefully cover their scars. Experience had taught them, and quickly they'd learned; 'Don't be discovered, don't be returned...' And that's where they came across owners of boats Who'd organise things for a few thousand notes; Or even the promise of a payment in kind, Highly conveniently left undefined... From an uncharted cove and with no guarantees, The vessel set out to a freshening breeze. A couple of hundred were crowding her decks; Whatever they were, they were risking their necks. Death and destruction, or freedom from fear? It's even worth paying a black marketeer When sheer desperation is all you can find In the dark and the deep of a crucified mind. Day upon day spent appeasing
