As We Crash Upon Your Verdant Shores
Our dreams of your acceptance bob
like flotsam and jetsam in the waves
as we crash upon your verdant shores
Our hopes of sustenance and charity
lie like lagan on the bottom of your sea
where your abundance does not await us
Our hearts were drawn by your beacons;
freedom, compassion, truth and dignity
crushed by fear, ignorance and intolerance
Our meager lives and your treasured values
each now victims of these three rogue waves
as we crash upon your verdant shores
