The Migrant Song Poem by Chris Zachariou

Some years ago our parliament voted against allowing 3,000 Syrian children to enter the UK. These children were either orphaned or unaccompanied in Europe looking for shelter. At best they were in danger of exploitation and at worst in danger of their lives. It seems that if we allowed them to come in the 5th largest economy in the world would have suffer immeasurable economic damage. Also, so the argument goes, since we already have 3,000 Syrian children here the addition will create a seismic demographic change to our way of life. Shame on our politicians who will do anything to appease a small minority of racists.
