Reality is raw, but we can all contribute to make it better...


One way to the Canary Islands

A boat on the ocean,
Too many onboard
Waves picking up
As hard wind soared

The night just grew darker
Climbing up on the deck
Inside them they knew
This would soon be a wreck

As many before them,
No one could swim
They were swept into the ocean
Fate can be grim

They are a few of the thousands
Dissapearing at sea
When they try for a new start
And from poverty flee

These people are victims
Hardly mentioned in press
Still "we" in Europe
Are causing this mess

Forcing through policies
Forcing through law
Leaving no options
Reality's raw

I do like your mindset. Most young european people believe it's all America's fault. Thanks for pointing out the mistake of arrogance no matter what political party it hides in or where it resides.
