NO MERCY

Seeking only peace,

Children
Husbands grandmothers wives,
Drown in the sea,

Bodies washing up on
A merciless shore.

Oh they are not our children,
Not our husbands grandfathers wives
Of flesh and blood,
But humanity's,

And thus they are ours,

And could,
But for the grace of God and
The randomness of birth,

Be us.
