The Journey of the Refugees (Satis Shroff)

Alle Wesen mögen Trost
Erfahren in ihrem Leid und
Frieden finden in ihrem Leben.
Alle Wesen mögen glücklich sein.

JOURNEY OF THE REFUGEES (Satis Shroff)

Each refugees goes on his or her journey,
Facing perils, maltreatment, angst
And reaches his or her destination.
If the stay permit isn’t granted
Then it’s a broken journey.
We don’t know the details of these journeys
To the outside world,
Of humans who have fled
From dictators, war or want.
We have neither  the right to judge them,
Nor ridicule or hate them.
Such an attitude never made anyone’s life
A better one.
History will judge whether we’ve been kind
To refugees in need.
Let us give our helping hand
And not be blended by rightist opinions.
Let Germany show its open heart.
