Terrorism Holds A Bloody Knife At Innocent Throats Comments

The original poem I wanted to submit to the ‘POETRY AGAINST TERROR’ publication. I wanted to give disempowered refugees a voice. Syrian Refugee Tidal Arrival Wave Agony tidal arrival is wave agony a Syrian man a refugee still standing in shallows dark undercurrent shadows epic fleeing war mass millions Syria torn apart tear politics a coastline seashore reached soon to emerge from the sea face in stress trauma twisted his daughter in green life jacket held in father's right arm clings to his neck for security comfort held above cold water threat slightly older son buries face in father's chest is held tight still standing waist deep in waters fears crossing illegal to Europe to unknown veiled future uncertainties Copyright © Terence George Craddock Split image from the poem 'Agony Syrian Refugee Immigrant Waves' by Terence George Craddock. Inspired by a photo of three Syrian refugees. Dedicated to all refugees destitute homeless regardless of race and religion.
