Waiting in the winds.
Squinting in the sunlit hills a group of people wait for darkness to fall.
Against all the odds they have travelled land and sea to make it this far but not far enough for THAT better life.
What do they seek on the other side of that dark tunnel?
Health wealth happiness.
Could it be a dream too far?
Even the fittest fail to survive as night after night death grips the bravest to jump onto a moving train destined for Grand Bretagne.

Altogether on the boat.
The waves stood tall.
Not enough space on the boat to hold them all.
25 migrants promised new lives.
They left behind their children.
They left behind their wives.
The dream of prosperity.
The men set sail.
Turned into a nightmare did this sad and sorry tale.
5 died of hunger, 6 of dehydration.
A woeful situation.
No plan B or mitigation.
The men laid to rest at the bottom of the sea.
These were normal people like you and like me.
Looking for a better life.
It's all so terribly sad.
A wife missing her husband.
A child missing his dad.
The only ones to gain are the ones who sold the dream.
The ones who take blood money are never what they seem.
They take the hard earned cash from men who Want a better way of life. They care little for their children and care nothing for their wives.

Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
Washed up.
Lifeless.
All for a new life too far to reach?
Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
Terrorists
Heartless.
What happened to the human rights we all preach?
Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
Traffickers.
Gangs.
Displacing people no home and no speech.
Why is there a little boy lying on the beach?
A son.
No future.
We hang our heads and weep!
