Refused refuge,
distorting truth.
Stop the boats, spews the right-wing news.
We are full we don't want you.
Use terms like surge,
hurricane, swarms,
torrents, floods.
An act of nature
that will bring with it blood.
Politicians’ smirk with glee.
Division is a sure way
to keep people on their knees.
Breed fear in the populace,
they will beg you to set them free,
even though you
are the ones holding the key.
Politicians take refuge
in their crumbling palace,
built upon lies, spite and malice.
Whilst the populace
seeks sanctuary in the nearest
mind escape factory.
Anywhere they can be taken away
from their lives of drudgery, of mental
enslavement to a pack of jailers
who should never hold the key.
Refuge, to feel safe,
A haven from the fear
of life being taken away.
A fear of the state.
A shelter from the downpour
Slate like rain of terror
that is always flooding their door.
Only to be called
criminals, opportunists, hordes
and barred entry
with a barricade of hate
from those who should offer love
but instead
give people that primal urge
to want to see rivers of blood.
Life has no borders, those lines
are there to distort us, divide us
and cajole us into
our fenced in prisons.
We are one, a community of earth. A union
of souls with one goal, to live and thrive.
But we get drip fed soundbite lies,
about them against us,
haves against have nots,
rich against poor,
poor against poorer.
These words set fire
to the bad blood that pours.
So let us open our doors,
and offer refuge to help the cause.
