Poem
When you carried your dreams in your heart Little did you know that they were to be crushed in the start Your body shook the whole world when washed ashore The innocence in your cute face and the body with vim Got reduced to a crushed heart that tells tales that fill up your eyes to the brim Just because the government wouldn't arrange to bring Refugee families with future dreams into its wing Everyone wanted to talk None had the guts to do something, to bark Is that why Kurdi you complained too soon? When power hit us hard We hardly cared about the consequence and uprooted your families lad! How many tears would have your eyes shed When you realized we had the audacity to kick you out of YOUR bed How much would have the soft hands of yours pleaded When you realized we didn't have the qualm in our hearts kneaded When you raised your hands against my face Just because you thought my camera to be the gun in place You didn't just punch me in the guts honey Your stares stabbed me straight in the heart Sonnie! Is that why you complained too soon buddy? When there was a conflict of interest And we bombed your heavens without any shame and lorn the rest Your soul tried to mettle the unexplainable scars that your body held While all we cared about was holding our status tight And out of pain, you yelled. I wanted to kiss your sweet pale forehead As your lifeless fingers curled mine and your soul leaped out instead My heart shattered into pieces as I sat there Numb and speechless hoping you would nictitate and giggles that tear But you lay there lifeless questioning our useless grit and shameless conquest Is that why you complained too soon bud? When some children bathed in riches You drowned in poverty's clutches When others slept in their parents' warmth Your innocent heart couldn't comprehend your fate And when I came to provide an asylum You thought I came to reunite your parents with you and your phylum You kissed my cheek Your hope shattered me and sent me weak I couldn't break that your parents were dead Is that why you complained too soon as said? You couldn't trace the respect for women that turned into lust You couldn't figure why some were rich while others were reduced to dust You could never get why agathokakological got bent into just sinister You never could understand why human values became a disaster And that the world became too hot to handle Karma bites, d'you all hear? Some of us cared-none did enough You complained too soon bud.
