There once was a boy who lay on the Beach
If we were a better world,
He would only be sleep
His mom would be smiling
Laughing with Love
We failed this Child
The side-effects of a harsh world
Where his skin color made him worth less to our eyes
We ignored their screams
Their yells
Their cries
So a mom gathered her children,
And went to the Beach
She could not tuck them in
She could not let them sleep
They got on a raft,
Tossed and turned by the sea
And that's how little Aylan
Got to visit the Beach
