April 15, 2016 - Today's prompt is to write a poem using at least 4 of these 8 words: flat, ring, lavish, vessel, paper, blacklist, gaudy, tooth

Syrians 

On the blacklist of life

Fight tooth and nail to climb into a flat vessel

Not one life ring. No paper, just the shirt on his back

The baby in her arms, the mark on the soul

Wishing not for lavish, gaudy lifestyles

Just life

Blacklisted from living

Thanks for reading
