For Migrants No Other Choice

For Migrants No Other Choice

When we had heard voice after voice,
Containing crying making loud noise;
Heading here,
Still with fear;
Coming to America was only choice.

To arrive in America tried and tried,
And yet after all of this she still died;
Another migrant,
To heaven went;
No water supplied and father cried.

The horrid reality of so many; trying to leave a bad situation for a better life, providing they survive the migration. Well penned.

There has to be a successful outcome somewhere.
