(Refugee crisis spring 2017)
Assyria...Row the boat, ashore
250 drowned
In the pulsing waves
of the Mediterranean,
The unlucky,
Wrong place, wrong time...
The living
welcomed.
Fleeing
dangerous borders
families desperate
for anywhere
but here.
I see their
Pleading eyes
In my dreams...
45 laughed
at them
refused entry
Called them "Other"...
How many perished
In the Atlantic?
The unlucky.
Wrong country, wrong religion
Children
Daring to request solace
Into this Gold plated
paradise...
Expecting our mercy
believing themselves worthy
Of Milk & Honey
On the other side...
