_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
