Good Morning Europe - Good Noon Asia - Good Night America! ! Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Indeed heart wrenching,
our TV stations show the greatest dispair almost everyday
and this happened just a few miles from our country.

What is the worst?

That the truckdrivers who received their money
to bring them to England,
let them frozen in the trucks,
except other truckdrivers
who are honest and helped indeed all the time,

but our eyes only see the dead refugees
who sunk in the ocean and stranded ashore
in Turkey, Hungary,
they died in the trucks,
and the driver left the truck closed,
because all 75 people died within,
too hot in Summer
and no opening, no fresh air could come inside.

The most tragic is
a boy under ten and his baby sister
died with their mother when they had just left
at the Turkish shore.

This was told by the father and
husband who survived.
The corrupt men gave the boats,
but all knew that the boats would sink
amidst the ocean and the corrupt men fled
before the boats sunk,
the refugees trusted these men,
but they were killed in this way.
No kids got life jackets.
All passengers were drowned just like that.
That one husband also belongs to the corrupt men
he was one of the cheaters too,
his wife did not know, she trusted him,
but he did not go with his wife and kids
he stayed alive and they were drowned

Our Tv stations show these scenes of the refugees constantly.
Humanity is no where to find.

I am still very sad,
that's why I cannot write yet a poem,
a good poem about these refugees
but I'm happy you have done that, dear Sara.
(Sara is a poetess from the late Poetfreak)

My grand compliment for this truth
and honest poem, dear Sara.
Germany [due to Mrs. Merkel] opens its door
for almost 1 million refugees now,
since Germany is a big and wealthy country.

This happens only AFTER the death of those kids
with their mother, only the father is still alive.
He had paid to come to Europe and he wished to go to Canada.
What he got was bad leaking boats without life jackets.
Just a few hours after they left for Europe, they were drowned,
together with them hundreds of refugees in that too small boat.

And the father told this in front of the TV sender,
but now he won't go to his nieces in Canada.
They had come to Europe (Turkey)to be at their sisters´ funeral.
So sorry, I have written this with too much emotive feel,
but scrapping words would only lead to frustrations.

And near the Chunnel, near Callais - Dover,
many refugees paid huge amount of money,
only to face their death in frozen trucks
cheated by some truckdrivers,
great luck not all truckdrivers are like that.

I have still the Vietnamese refugees in my mind
and the Chinese, each country in their own periods.
And now this. Oh, what a greatest disaster!

Mrs. Merkel of Germany keeps her promise,
and the French president FRANCOIS HOLLANDE
has cheated all Europe,
in front of the TV he promised together with Mrs. Merkel,
that they will help the refugees. AND NOW?
Francois Hollande is just like those cheaters
and impostors during World War II,
he is not to be trusted anymore, even still a president.

Mrs. Merkel lets almost 1 million refugees
enter her country to give aid,
they are now 850.000 and soon they will be one million.
Is it only to women to keep promises made?
I am devastated.

Thank you, dear Sara, you made me able
to write my long response.
YOU wrote a terrific magnificent poem
about the recent tragedies. Today.

A response by Sylvia Frances Chan on
the late Poetfreak´s poem "Refugees" published by Sara.

MyNOTES afterwards:
About that husband who survived the sinking boat:
he killed his wife and kids
letting them go with the same boat
as he told us in front of the TV,
in reality, he did not step in the boat
which he managed, since he knew
that the boat was not safe,
and would sink as soon
as they´d reach the high waters of the ocean
and no one wore a life-jacket.

He got paid because he accepted that job.
His wife did not know about this job he had
at that moment.
The family in Canada was all hers, not his.

May their souls R.I.P. oh Lord Almighty. Amen
