Aylan
Wash away the washed up Aylan from our conscience
Pretend that it never happened
And somehow undo this stirred up hornet’s nest
Anything that helps prevent bursting our bubble
If this is the Arab Spring
It has to get better than this
Or some other galaxy’s Armageddon
For ours would need to wait its turn
Dog eat dog
Never on this planet, not on our watch
Shall we gather our pieces and do it better all over again
For all of them Aylans who are not going to have a picture taken
