Imposter
It’s raining outside,
Soon, I will fall asleep
On my comfortable bed
Thinking of
The thousands of Syrian refugees
Who will cross over to northern Iraq
On a hot summer day,
From one hell to another somewhat better
Carrying hope
In their small bundles of belongings,
Believing that
Hope is not an imposter.
August 2013, Kolkata
