To Aylan Kurdi and Drowned Humanity




This should be the end of the world

World began from a shore
World should cease at this shore

This should be the end of the world

Earth never belongs to a man
Not even to men
Definitely not in the least
To tiny self-obsessed men
Calling themselves nation

There is no nation of a child
Children belong to no country
All countries belong to them
This whole world is theirs to take

A child left homeless!
Such homelessness!
Even sea couldn’t take him
He was washed off the shore
To remind us of meaningless boundaries
To remind us of our cancerous chauvinism

This definitely here
Should have been the end of the world
