Taking Refuge In Death

Across the dark ocean of sleep My yacht sometimes goes adrift And is washed ashore the Beach Of Turkey where little Alan lay dead The image of the drowned toddler Lying face down on the waterline Seemingly giving his last kiss To Mother Earth made all eyes wet He was dressed for a long journey Unknowingly that it was his last A red coloured T-shirt he was wearing As if to warn against human rivalry The challenges of destiny devastate As ethnic ego overpowers humanity, Man killing man and the plight leads The meek to seek a land of peace
