Migration
The picture of a child, a man, and our humanity
The picture that will go down in history The image we hope will change history The picture that shows we are not humane anymore The image that forces us to be humane Humanity is dead in that picture A strike to our conscience A death that make our conscience bleed A heart
The picture that will go down in history
The image we hope will change history
The picture that shows we are not humane
anymore
The image that forces us to be humane
Humanity is dead in that picture
A strike to our conscience
A death that make our conscience
bleed
A heart wrenching reality
that squeezes our innards
Our future drowned with that child
We hope that child will be the last of many, not one of many
On that beach our humanity
died
We cry for humanity
To tear it out from the depths that are burying it
