And now for something different. Boat people.
Today’s game, Endless parade
The refugees streamed
The community screamed
The borders degenerated
The debates raged
The numbers increased
The solution escaped
The stress escalated
The panic dominated
The resources depleted
The system collapsed
The dissent grew
And the unwilling hosts
Played catch up
In a one sided game
With burden as victor
And suffering as the result.
The debate became tired
Interest waned
Media moved on
Allowing a myriad of ‘activities’
To reign unchecked.
Nothing so insignificant
As a tired story.
