I wrote the poem below after hearing the reports of this activity reported by the Intercept and other news outlets.
The oasis of kindness became a mirage
The Oasis Is Off Limits
in
a desert as mean
as
the baking sun
on
the back of a fleeing refugee.
At the gate the
sign blinks a message:
"Go
away.
the
oasis is off limits,
there's no kindness here
there's no kindness here
don't you understand?"
