Just because it is not in the news, it does not mean that the events have gone away. There are still wars in Syria and the Middle East. There is still a story to be told.
The Migrant’s Tale
Mars rising, bright red in the night
The war zones: the stillness of death
Eyes wide open, but without sight
Charred bodies amidst an acrid breath
Small boats, overcrowded, upon a sea
Frightened, men, women, children wait
Time to make the crossing, time to flee
People treated just as so much freight
On the beach: strangers in a strange land
Where to be a refugee is seen as crime
Footprints on the wave washed sand
The road to freedom: one step at a time
Weary, hungry, threadbare:
how to cope?
Break bread, share, eat: a sign of hope
