BUL / LIES

Bullies and victims
battle in the playground
no fair contest here, never was.
No teachers to break up the fight
behind walls, away from view.

All they want is refuge.
Like Jews sailed to America
escaping the Nazis –
they were turned back
to face the terror on their own.

We do more than that.
Some we turn away, send back
others we let drown.
Cage the rest
terrorise with razor wire.

We, the bullies.
