A Time For Courage At The Borderlands

When the sea that stole your loved ones
Is still safer than the land
When the forest dies
The water dries
The soil turns to sand

Stay and watch your children die
Or run and they might survive
Evade the pigs at the border
Unflinchingly ruining peoples lives

Can you imagine the horror
Of a fence they won't let you through?
Another country refusing help
What if that was you?

What if what was needed
Was another pair of hands
Active solidarity
The skills that you have?
What if all it took
To help get people through
Was someone else who could resist
What if that was you?
