What happened on each occasion? Refugee Bluesby W. H. AudenListen and read Say this city has ten million souls,Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:Yet there’s no place for us, my dear, yet there’s no place for us.Once we had a country and we thought it fair,Look in the atlas and you’ll find it there:We cannot go there now, my dear, we cannot go there now.In the village churchyard there grows an old yew,Every spring it blossoms anew;Old passports can’t do that, my dear, old passports can’t do that.The consul banged the table and said:“If you’ve got no passport, you’re officially dead”;But we are still alive, my dear, but we are still alive.Went to a committee; they offered me a chair;Asked me politely to return next year:But where shall we go today, my dear, but where shall we gotoday?Came to a public meeting; the speaker got up and said:“If we let them in, they will steal our daily bread”;He was talking of you and me, my dear, he was talking of you andme.Thought I heard the thunder rumbling in the sky;It was Hitler over Europe, saying: “They must die”;O we were in his mind, my dear, O we were in his mind.Saw a poodle in a jacket fastened with a pin,Saw a door opened and a cat let in:But they weren’t German Jews, my dear, but they weren’t German Jews.Went down the harbour and stood upon the quay,Saw the fish swimming as if they were free:Only ten feet away, my dear, only ten feet away.Walked through a wood, saw the birds in the trees;They had no politicians and sang at their ease:They weren’t the human race, my dear, they weren’t the human race.Dreamed I saw a building with a thousand floors,A thousand windows and a thousand doors;Not one of them was ours, my dear, not one of them was ours.Stood on a great plain in the falling snow;Ten thousand soldiers marched to and fro:Looking for you and me, my dear, looking for you and me Refugee Blues questions Who is the speaker of the poem?

Record your account below Following the November 2015 Paris attacks, a wave of anti-refugee sentiment made its way overseas to the United States as multiple governors and Congressmen began expressing an unwillingness to accept Syrian refugees. To Jason Fotso―eighteen years old at the time―this shut-door stance contradicted the longstanding U.S. policy of welcoming in refugees, and more symbolically, the sonnet inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. He sought to capture this spirit in a dual-perspective piece, one that would transform the very words of antagonism into those of empathy: an original poem, entitled “the refugees.” The Refugees, authored by Jason Fotso.(Follow the punctuation, ignore the spacing.)Turn away the refugees.We will notopen upour homes and heartsforchildren.Close our doors onthe weak.Onlyfear behindourlove can putstrength in ourhands.We cannot let them bleed into ournation.They share the blood of ourenemy.Our ownare endangered bythe refugees.We have forgottenthe words thatthe Statue of Liberty shines.In this darkest hour,terrorstands stronger thanour peopleofpower.Thisfearconquersthe home of the brave.(Read from bottom to top, use the spacing.)About the Author:From Maple Grove, near Minneapolis, Jason Fotso has written poetry and performed spoken word since high school, speaking consciously about the world around him.
