Lost for words
Words by Andrew
is lost for words
as the crowd
no rabble
dabble in the thought
of widespread mayhem
call me unkind
but I’ve a mind
to put up the closed sign
on our international door
14 days on Christmas Island
my suggestion
for those knocking
you may feel my idea rather poor
so let’s ponder
apparently, we Australians are ok with
humans being detained offshore
for 7 years or more
14 days doesn’t seem
like much of a chore
now I can sense
your beginning to bore
so, for now, I write no more
rest assured though
when Andrew finds his words
there will be much more.
