Humanity Slipping Away - Helen Savva - Limassol, Cyprus
I made this as a response to the tragic death of the 3-year-old Syrian refugee
– Aylan Kurdi –
who had drowned together with his 5-year-old brother Ghalib and mother Rehan
in the Mediterranean Sea while trying to escape Syria.
beyond my world
few knew Kurdish Kobane
a border city
balancing between
Turkey and Syria
until it was reduced to
80% rubble
but they know now
beyond my world
few understood
the relentless tides of desperate souls
seeking some kind of life
without fear
but they understand now
beyond my world
no one saw my three year old son
Aylan
until he slipped away from me
but they now see
in tragedy
he is
THEIR
son
Isn't he?
