Dead Canines In Spain Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Dead Canines In Spain



Dead Canines in Spain

The Aegean Sea, another rubber dinghy sank 30 people drowned
most of them Syrians and from the hateful a smile when they are
stupid risking their life and come here wanting to live like us.
A good Syrian is a dead one, and they did not have much of value
for a state to confiscate and none of them had a higher education just
some uneducated bodies bringing nothing but their humanity and
children now drowned.

To make matters worse, they were Muslims too, from rural backwaters of
an alien culture, so we do not have to worry about them anymore,
expendable people both in their country and the countries they hoped would
give them succour. There are so many other inequities around, look at the way
they treat dogs in Spain isn`t that a shame something for the face- book.
So send some money to the people who try to rescue the dogs.

You adopt the tone of xenophobes with just the right edge to expose their heartlessness. The frightening thing is that your presentation requires no ironic technique- -you simply report what such people say. Dog's are bred to thrive on human affection, so they are mirrors for our self-centeredness.
