They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeve
Cut-throat and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not ok to say
These people are just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way
( now read it bottom to top )

"I like these backwards poems, seen quite a few on facebook lately but not this one. 
I've just found it on Facebook "
All the ones i've seen are about depression or domestic violence, still were good though. |

That's really very clever. I've not read that before.. or even heard of this kind of poetry.
Something tells me he's an empath. |

The poet needs to make their mind up about what they are saying.
The reason we have people on the tills at supermarkets, off-licenses and pubs is because if you simple leave the doors open and don't have any restrictions the obvious happens.
It is a beautiful thought that people would just wander in to an unmanned Tesco and help themselves to a single tomato, two eggs, a small piece of cheese, two wholemeal tortilla wraps and a half bottle of Low Alcohol Wine and then leave again.
But that isn't what happens.
It is why we have locks on our doors and don't leave our wallets on the dashboard and our cars unlocked with the keys in the ignition. Some people want to wander around wearing Kennomeat Underpants in this Dog eat Dog World. But I am afraid I aint wearing Kennomeat Underpants for some "Facebook Empath". I bet they don't give up their home for the homeless and then go and live on the street instead.
The first duty of the Government of any Country is to protect its Borders for its citizens. The citizens are the people who work, pay taxes and do most of the living, working, building and dying in a country. They live there. It is their country. |
