Nothing to see here
wrenched away from family
at the border of a strange
country
stripped
searched
put in the cage
wide eyes round in shock
at night the foil blankets
of all of the children
shimmer as they cry
themselves to quiet
the soldiers come
they rape
they hurt the
virgin bodies
and throw them back
into the cage
or bury them
