Israa

Embernest


I didn't notice 'till today
It was dark this morning
I woke up swearing at the evil alarm
And it was freezing walking to my car
It was pouring outside

And I'm bleary eyed and yawning

Her name is Israa
She's eleven years old
She sold some cigarettes illegally
In Izmir
So she could ride an overcrowded boat
With her family to the shores of Greece

While I'm bleary eyed and yawning

And the world is dark
It needs a bit of light
