Welcome to paradise


Welcome to paradise, land of the free
free from what, exactly?
hell on earth, a prison cell, in a new land
a welcoming party for the damned

Detaining children, a cage as a welcome
no shiny life, no happy times, just a cell as a hotel room
families split over fear of change, world superpower?
a country born of immigration yet all you do is cower
A stolen childhood sets a precedent, Mr president
when the world grows to distrust and resent
you breed what you fear
those children grow more hatred with every shed tear

Sat in cages, like animals in a zoo
do you feel proud of the flag, when this is what it leads to
is it a crime to want better, a life lived in peace
yet you turn up your nose, send in the police

Tears flow, a river wept at the border zone
children left in cells alone
lives torn apart, for wanting to be a part
seeing the children with broken hearts




Thanks for reading, peace and love.
Kyle
