We Are All Refugees – November 2016

We are all refugees of Eden
Seeking asylum from ourselves
Drawn to false identities hidden
In every fictitious image we sell
Painters masking our portable prison
Praying for lovers and leaders to see more
I hide the search for guarded garden gateway
knowing my soul might refuse the open door
We are all refugees of Eden
Scattered between wilderness and garden
Thrust into knowing much evil abandoned
Trusted to carry an image not ever beholden
You and I are refugees of Eden
Brothers united in murderous divisions
Sisters embracing our hurt and hate
Children of angels, devils, prophets and scoundrels
Lost sons, lost daughters, lost souls.
