I want to write how I feel
About the photos from the sea
The beautiful blue Med
Where we take holidays
You and me
Our safe seafaring land
Sad, helpless, angry
Is how it makes me feel
People dying daily
We don’t even get to see
Politicians and TV Editors
Decide what we should see
Now my problem is
I know
I do my little bit
Yet all the while
This tragedy still happens
On our big fat
And oh so selfish European doorstep
