Syrian Brothers
In Exile
The shame I harbor
For some time
For not saving you
You the Syrian Muslim
For looking the other way
The searing guilt
Of abandoning Jews Armenians and Cambodians
And watching slaves
drown in the Atlantic
The ancient shame
The savage
The untamed beast
Afraid of
Living things different
Creatures of novel colors
Foreign sounds
I am ashamed
To let you down
