The Tragedy (part 1)
September 27, 2023
Dark cool colors
Hard, carved cheekbones.
Cold, dry, starving faces.
Straw-like hair and dirty visages.
A child wrapped in a blanket,
Too young to understand
War, oppression, and refuge
The Tragedies that plague this family.*
The woman's sorrowful, drooping eyes and
The man, hair graying, drop their heads,
With closed pupils.
Too devastated comfort to their child.
Bonds are blue
Families fall apart,
In times of turmoil.
Not even they persist.
The clouds are gray,
And the sea is dark.
Their bodies are dying
And so are they.
