The floating bottles

We are not here for forgiveness,
It’s our pride which brings us to you.

We are your melancholical sons,
With open arms you shall take us.

Why did you sell-
Sell us to that soul taker,
Why were the coins we recieved grosque?

Why were our fathers deformed?
Why were our mothers blistered?

I was not blood stained,
It was the storm.

Like a leaf I was,
It was the sea.

Like a bottle,
I wasn’t swimming.

I wasn’t drowning,
I was just staying afloat.
