(Untitled)
In my dreams, I walk among the ruins
of the old part of town,
looking for a bit of stale bread.
My mother and I inhale
the fumes of gunpowder
I imagine it to be the smell
of pies, cakes and kebabs.

I now know what refugees feel like when they have to leave their home, what they miss and what has stuck in their memory. Everyone should be equal and treated with respect.

29. What’s the impact? They are taking our jobs Miss!
They are only coming over here for “free money”
We don’t want them here!
