    WOW!! I have listened to this several times.....So powerful and TRUE!! And Sinead Cusack is a wonderful reader....everyone should hear this poem, over and over, so they can feel the terror and upheaval for every refugee, then maybe we all, who are able to help out, could see that these people leaving their homes, need emergency assistance now 💟 Stop denigrating anyone who has to leave their home in any country. Human beings arrogantly put down a courageous Mexican going through the jungles and desserts, saying that they are not welcome in the U.S., when they have put their lives and their children's lives on the line, to get to his country. There should be a huge WELCOMING CELEBRATION when they arrive to the border....❤
