‘Twas the day of a storm

Tide was soon to claim sand

And you sought urgent refuge

On somewhat dry-land.

Not a foot from my chair

You stood near, you stayed calm.

Maybe you knew ’twas a place

Where you’d come to no harm.

There is harm in the air

Infants caged

Children scammed,

There are guards

Bearing guns

Tearing babies from arms.

Those before us who fought

For the hunted, the hurt

Weep in graves

As the country they served

Mutates to enact

Inhumane acts

On the wrong tracks.
