I can explain how Zephaniah uses language and structure to express ideas of heritage, oppression and place in 'We Refugees'.
Muuji qoraalka
Zephaniah's use of oppressive verbs throughout the poem reflect the oppressive regimes people flee from.
Arguably, Zephaniah suggests that the oppression continues once the refugees have arrived "somewhere".
The juxtaposition surrounding the ideas of place could reflect how easily somewhere can shift to a war or disaster.
The change from "forest" to "field" could suggest how people lose connections to their heritage through refugeeism.
