Pakistan Exiles Afghan Refugees

Exodus

They fled one war, seeking refuge and peace
Only to find hardship and strife increased
Discrimination, abuse, no jobs or place
Pakistan turned cold to the Afghans' plight

Harassed by officials, blameless yet blamed
Pushed to the fringes, targeted and shamed
Desperation growing with each darkening night
Pakistan turned cold to the Afghans' plight

No status granted, no papers to protect
Vulnerable souls with few rights to expect
Living in limbo, their futures out of sight
Pakistan turned cold to the Afghans' plight

Some weary of struggling, gave up the fight
Returning to homeland despite what's right
Risking taliban and unending blight
Pakistan turned cold to the Afghans' plight

Where children know only hunger and fright
And elders weep for their erstwhile might
A people abandoned and caught in the tide
As Pakistan turned cold to the Afghans' plight
