Dying for entertainment
On the tele
tucked amongst the news
tucked between parades of victory
as boys return in glory
from The Gulf
there
for entertainment
stands a child
Sandals sticking
on the orange mudfield
manfully he raises each tired foot
Finally - in tears
he reaches standstill
quite bewildered
by the constant urging
One small Kurdish boy
with brother fleeing
sad amongst the mountains
next to Turkey
