Universal Problem



American coastguard ships now ordered to open fire,
On poor refugees from Cuba, their situation already dire.
Watch little children being incarcerated, what is their crime?'
Sent to camps at Dilley, Texas, stealing their childhood time.

Sadly our Australia fares no better, take Manis and Nauru,
Are children are on your conscience? but what can you do?
We still sanction our government, to take away child's right,
Then we complain in private, sadly we're not up for the fight,

Brexit Britain just want refugees, be sent to a foreign land,
Closing one's eyes and ears, burying their heads in the sand,
Humanity is the real victim, because we choose to turn away,
I can't ever ignore such suffering, understanding starts today,
