Mediterranica - Poem

The Mediterranean Guernica of today
​Mediterranica
2014 to 2019
2550, 12'740, 598, 112'000
Ibrahim, Leila, Tmbeki, Mary wanted to live


sons and daughters, babies
brothers and sisters
mothers and fathers
lovers, the frightend, hungry and cold
fleeing wars not of their making
together with aid workers out in the wide open sea

Republicans of today
bringing together
auch Sonne Mond und Sterne
Aiding Mediterranica

Your true vessels are your dreams
your tears are Lilienlingen
Mediterranica from now on a sea of tears
you will never be the same again

fortress Europe shame on you
where is your heart

Italy Greece Malta Spain you've been left alone

May all old and neo-Franco-phones lay down their ugly heads and pray

Du da Du da Afrika
Du da du Da Syria
forgive us Mediterranica
