Image: Syrian Refugees not too Long Ago (here)Setting their sights with blank looks
Across the emptiness spanning the ocean waters
A people seeking freedom
Imposed against their wishes
By those powerful enough to impede their progress
Wishing for land of the free
With hopes for their future generations
Divine help awaited
(44 words)
De at d'Verse's Quadrille #42 with
inclusion of the word - hope
Only god can help them, their own kind left them to die
ReplyDeleteEloquently expresses the peril of many.
