Wake Up Mom

Wake up, O mom! It's time. We have to go.
It's you who wakes me up before God bow.
Trains are coming and going. You're sleeping.
Each one passing by seems at us staring.
Have I done something wrong? Are you angry?
I'll be your good child. Feed me. I'm hungry.

We have so many dead immigrants in Malta. I can relate to your poem.
