Many faces furrowed-
With streaks of worry
As they are like migratory birds
Coming to roost after sunset.

Deportation is a cancer
That gnaws deep down the gutturals
When a people are evicted
Forced to return home
Where economic sanctions cripple an already crippled economy;

Hearts heavy as soaked sacks-
Returning where they had set their hearts against,
Where not only is food scarce
But the people are impoverished like lice.
