PLZ NOTE, song was written when I was 14 or 15 haha… my old description read:

This is not a genre I usually write in.... but this is what came from the world, and so I cannot really ignore it. Many people have chosen to avoid the issue of the Refugees for many different reasons as more and more of the displaced bleed from their countries. On the more obvious front, perhaps people can argue it is too polarizing or that it is happening too far away and shouldn't affect our lives. However, I saw it as impossible to maintain such a stance once visiting and meeting with refugees and program leaders in Germany, which in turn, inspired me to read more about refugees. This is when I came across the story of a young 10 year old boy who barely escaped Syria with his life, and sadly, wasn't able to save his family from becoming another statistic of political instability. By some stroke of luck or by his strength of will, he reached Europe. Yet, after he arrived, he was rejected by many countries, so he kept on moving. I could not find any other stories about the boy, or where he ended up, but I think about him all the time, hoping that he found a place to be. I am not trying to make people guilty for being ignorant, or people who are fully aware and have chosen not to act. However, whether safeguarding the lives of refugees align with your political beliefs or not, children should not have to suffer from the squabbles of gilded men.
