Death Of A Refugee Poem by Francis Duggan

At least of his cares he is finally free
He died on Manus Island the poor refugee
A Tamil from Sri Lanka in detention for years
The poor bloke his passing has gone with few tears
Without hope of freedom and mentally unwell
The poor man had lived in his own Earthly Hell
A political football of him one can say
How wrong people should be treated on such a way
For years without hope his mind in mental strife
He believed his way out of his troubles was to taKe his own life
For his death the Papuan and Australian Governments each other does blame
Just political point scoring without any shame
All he wished was for a life free of harassment in him nothing bad
The way he lived and died was so tragic and sad.
