Refugees and Migrants

Look there see the rubber boats with refugees out at sea,
They are risking all to find another life and whatever they can be.

The violence and the hardship they left in smoke and flame
They have traveled far to escape the hunger and the blame.

The world so rich rejects them and their borders are closed and shut
They call themselves Christian and ignore the asylum seekers that have traveled by boat and foot.

The world is mean and selfish without love beyond their own,
They cannot share with others and offer the poor a proper home.

This is so immoral, a broken world, greedy and corrupt,
One day I will implode and end in violence, quickly and abrupt,
They cannot share the vaccine to save many from pain and death,
They are suffocating in the luxury from the plundered stolen wealth.

The victims of colonial rule, migrants, refugees, it is Justice they demand.
May the power of truth and compassion transform the world and give them welcome, peace, in a new and blessed land.
