WEEPING MEDITERRANEAN


POEM

None has seen a
sea weeping
but, dear friends,
a sea too weeps
like a mother, like a child.    
These days Mediterranean
is continuously weeping.
But she is helpless.
When Aylan Kurdi,
his brother Galib,
such hundreds of Aylan Kurdis,
Galibs and their parents
while fleeing for life by boats
and when a few sink
into her very depths
she weeps
ceaselessly weeps 
continues to weep
since boats continues
to drown with the refugees 
who flee for life to safer countries
some deny permission to
them and chase them away,
while some embrace them 
provide food to them
distribute sweets to them
arrange accommodation for them.
Mediterranean is a 
witness to everything

but incessantly weeps…….
