For online story: Migrant and Refugee Poetry Competition 2017. From VisualHunt.
TRYING to outrun the sound of gunfire, heart pounding, praying for change and looking for safety ... from the moment 11-year-old Rohingya refugee Mohd Feroz Said Alam smiles at the audience at the Migrant and Refugee Poetry Competition 2017 and launches into his poem The Runner, we’re all right there with him.
Held rapt by the juxtaposition of powerful words and compelling imagery, in the simple, matter-of-fact delivery of a child, the audience holds its breath and roots for the seeker of safety and identity.
