Refugee response


People movin xthe globe With no final destination No not a movie Pure Dehumanization Future's upon them now Homes. The road cardboard n plastic Far cry from fantastic Europeans crying out loud We dont need em They looking for life n freedom Promised land Garden of Eden Countries counting quotas Cherry pickin Apealing to the voters Kids crying n hungry Bodys tired n bleeding Facin carrying day horrors The growing number Of deaths mountin Suffocation n drowning mercy were r u now People from many different nation's Washin up on beaches On u holiday destinations World leaders short of answers No imaginations Mercy were r u now Borders n barriers Death walks fenced in with Barbed wire Have u got room round u table Would you hold out a hand If u was able Theres millons on the move Dont believes the papers Typed up by well paid University educated haters World problem Human kind need answers Weve seen it on our plasmas Wave of desperation Looking for The milk of human kindness In the land of milk n honey But there not getting in Charity wearin thin So desperate times Desperate measures Locked in airtight lorries Contorted faces Packed in with decaying bodies and Human fecies Theres a price to pay For watchin human suffering From a distance Leaders fighting over quotas Pasifying voters there havin banquits at. there summits Paid for by our taxes Its really something When human life Ammounts to nothing After trade deals with the European union Ment theres agreed No borders integration Accepting countless eastern Europeans They have a pigmintation right To be here Something about this picture Just aint right There not given aid inside cages Human rights Advanced nations tearing up the pages Eventually we will accept them With there trauma n persistence Will u put up a resistance Would you Walk that far for life Sometimes life aint so good Ain't all about what u been earnin Some wont piss on others who are burning Would it be headline On the news Looked at from a slightly Different angle If Thousands of uk citizens drowned escaping persicution in the english channel Mercy were r u now Please dont turn your backs
