Still alive still struggling in the boat, skinned for some bare ass to die, not even humanely, the link to a video down below, prompted me to write this poem, if for seeing their pain, seeing it only for moment is not asking too much, is it.

 

 
Who cares to see?
What hell these creatures suffer,
Why? Because it hurts,
Most people, you and me,
 
Where are those I pay?
And you, with taxes dear,
To police these slaughters,
Do they look the other way?
 
If it were one human child,
Still struggling, wriggling,
In throes of its last breath,
We’d go berserk and wild,
 
Why, this helpless being,
Why is it left to fend?
All alone at murders hand,
For want of our seeing?©16/04/2011

These are men with no heart or soul Jasmin. You are the conscious that represents the part of mankind that is still of some value. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

the most grueling side of human nature is its apathy and violence toward its fellow creatures, as well as itself ...

For want of our seeing

So many today still refuse to see, or to feel. We have so sadly become so heartless.

You care.
I care.
There are still Nazis.
I wish it were not so.
