The Life Of A Refugee

By Aida Mandic

"The Life Of A Refugee" is a poem that describes the terror and helplessness of being a refugee. It is a stark reminder of the potential of cruelty in humanity. Refugees are the most vulnerable people on the planet. They face murder, rape, torture, humiliation, and degradation on a daily basis. Their lives are under constant threat because of the filth of corrupt politicians and faulty policies. I am a Bosnian Genocide survivor and I have experienced the dangerous uncertainty of war. My mother"s friends were raped and my father was shot in his ankle by a Serbian Chetnik sniper. Over 100,000 Bosnians were killed. 50,000 Bosniak women were raped. The horror of the war in Ukraine is a tragedy. Humanity keeps allowing war and genocide to occur. Ignorance breeds evil and arrogance because it doesn't allow space for critical thinking. Nationalism, sexism, racism, nativism, and any other -ism of society needs to be dealt with swiftly in its infancy so that it does not develop into a catastrophe.
