Father
Our fearful trip is done
The sailors song was never sang
Our new life never begun
Dreams wrecked, shipwrecked
Crew check. Will all passengers stay calm on deck?
His ribs shattered
As the water seeps through his body
The bubbles float upwards
But his leg won't kick - of -
course he made peace with death
You get my drift
We seize to recognise the beauty of being diverse
Yet we bury our faces in our palms
whiles we watch them float past in their hearse
Are we less of a King -dam - it -
If we deny humanity a chance to cross waves
Waves restless as a young heart fighting for existence.
Persistence.
Is what that 4 year old had when he jumped on board
Because he knew the harsh reality of this fearful trip
He is not an ordinary kid who knows nothing more than a happy meal
Brain washed in the hopes of a cereal packet family
It was a fearful trip
Miles away from a victors ship
Several fell cold and his father does not feel his arm
His lips are pale and still
Our fearful trip is done
The sailors song was never sang
Our new life never begun
Dreams wrecked, shipwrecked
Crew check. Will all passengers stay calm on deck?

As the water seeps through his body
The bubbles float upwards
