His eyes are a raging ocean Cast out in the middle of night Seas of surging blue and green Searchlights casting over foam Restlessly around the globe Searching every shoreline Yearning to find some peace On past around every turn Sought heralding in the night Survive a more perilous flight Seeking shelter and a new life Torn by tentacles of war and strife Searches at freedom’s front door All lit up by a statue in a harbor Holding a torch of light up high Give me your tired and poor... Yearning to breath free……... If not for you….. than for who ….........………….if only for me

About this poem:
It is unbearable to watch anymore the plight of refugees across this planet without questioning everything we have been led to believe in and care about.
right words Chris .. not many of those living peacefully in America or Europe could see these eyes .. I see them almost every day .. swept away, pain and loss. thank you for write and your compassion. Lily

We are well beyond "carrying capacity" Humans must stop this arrogance, that we have "dominion" over Nature. She will have the "last word", as is becoming more, and more evident.
these are the words of a primitive-minded man. sorry for being rude .. but I can only regret about you. because you are a kind of underdeveloped human soul. Our neighbors need to be helped according to all laws of Nature /God.. only in that way we remain human beings and not brainless creatures

Sure, help the ones you can, however, there is obviously a limit on numbers. A countries own people, must come first, end of story.

It has nothing to do with under developed souls; and everything to do with the allocation of food, essentials, etc. There is only enough for a limited number. That is a cold, hard, mathematical truth. As I said, the "host countries needs, must come first". You cannot lie about the overwhelming numbers involved. Unfortunately, not every dog can have a bone; quite simply because there are not enough bones to go around.
