"Migrant Mother." Dorothea Lange, 1936

Dorothea Lange took the photograph known as 'Migrant Mother' in 1936. This photo captures a mother trying to stay strong for her children while they suffer from poverty. The mother looks tired and worn out, gazing into the distance. She might be hoping for some relief, but also shows strength by holding herself up for her children. The black-and-white format of the photo adds to its emotional depth. In color, it wouldn’t have the same impact. The monochrome emphasizes the sorrow and hardship they are facing. The mother is the focal point, and her resilience is evident. I admire how the black and white deepens the sense of sadness and struggle in the image. The worn clothes and texture also show us the hardship of not just the mother but her kids as well. I also think that the kids looking away snuggled agaisnt their mom also show that theyre dependent on her as theyre too young.

2024 APRIL POEM-A-DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 14 ~ WHAT'LL WE DO FOR SUPPER

write an EKPHRASTIC poem - which is a poem in response to a different art form - painting, sculpture, or, in this case, photograph...

Using the classic Dorothea Lange photograph, Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California, 1936...

WHAT’LL WE DO FOR SUPPER © 2024 G. Smith (BMI) =================== Mama put her hand up to her cheek, She was, too tired to cry and too worried to speak. My sisters turned their faces away, Their hair the color of sun-dried hay.

What’ll we do for supper, Mama? Where we gonna make our bed? What’ll we do for supper, Mama? “Don’t know,” was all she said,

Mama just stared into the distance, Who or what was she looking for? Was it the home we left long ago, When the sheriff came to our door?

Or is it the dream tomorrow still holds, Is it the promised land? Or is it just the day’s sun going down, The way the Good Lord planned?

What’ll we do for supper, Mama? Where we gonna make our bed? What’ll we do for supper, Mama? “Don’t know,” is all she said.

What’ll we do for supper, Mama? Don’t tell us there’s rainbow stew. Don’t tell us we’ll sleep in sheets of gold, We both know that ain’t true, Mama; We both know that ain’t true.

Migrant Mother. Dorothea Lange.

According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.

Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.

So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.

Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.
