The Torch of Lampedusa
The 900 who heard them?
Apparently they lay screaming.
As I read this online story,
Of last gasp waving & drowning.
Poor migrants, lured to a better life,
Now they’re dead.
It must have been too hot for them
In Syria, Gambia etc they said.
Oh no, the summers are too hot always,
& now the stranded ones lay screaming.
As I read this online story
Of last gasp waving & drowning.
