Who is June twenty?

According to a research from anonymous, refugee means "right less." Resource: anonymous#unknown. refugee is basically someone who has forced to leave his own country for various reasons. Many denied to practice their belief, others to escape war and natural disaster just few to call. 
I just don't understand why we have recognizing so many days for different occasions? Each and every one of us have a day to recognize. Whether it is birth day, marriage anniversary, or if you are like me you would recognize every day for being alive. The reason I ask is that on refugee day we don't really care about refugees, we care a lot how to celebrate the refugee day. We spend hundreds and thousands of  dollars on June 20th, every year. Imagine how many refugee days we have celebrated so-far. Second how we pick the date? Why June 20th from the other 365+ days of a year? these questions and more are listed on this poem.

Who is June twenty?
June 20th calling refugee day
how are they related and why?
did they born together unknown years ago?
or met each other on the way?
who can tell me?
why are they tied refugee and June twenty?
even though no one has a brief answer for me 
about June twenty
I will tell you about refugee please allow me
how cured in the wold and impacted many.
It all started when ideas divided and powers exasperated
humanity and love were disappeared
unfortunately it becomes worst.
 Boom, poem, poem not only the horrific sound
lives were killed. Families separated. 
Children got starved. Youngsters disabled.
Homes were destroyed, future just dared.
Forced and pushed to die
miracle happened life survived 
somewhere else displaced
with a new name REFUGEE called.
It doesn't make sense to talk about refugee here
shelter is provided food is everywhere
it does a meaning at the right place over there
people suffered in famine and hunger
death had limited its power
hopeless days counted leading to the dark future
at the end one has remained to tell the story of struggle.
Consider one thing to remember
we're mortals sooner or later
we don't need everything we have
I'm asking you to share not to give
love is all we deserve, love is all we deserve. 

Beauty is in Words!
