Dark Angels Straight From Hell

To find out how we did arrive At where we are today, Review the past, keep it alive, The truth will come your way. The immigration laws of old Were race based bigotry. Caucasian countries fit our mold Of white suprmacy. But countries filled with darker skin Had no priority, We would not let too many in Our white majority. They did not want the darker hordes To immigrate this way, And threaten Anglo-Saxon cords Most thought were here to stay. A few good leaders read the law, In nineteen sixty-three, And found no bueracratic flaw, Just racist history. So better angels took control To end discrepency; Each country got an equal toll: Propotionality. Today the darker angels rule To bring back bigotry. The laws are now insanely cruel, In their iniquity. A child will cry in need tonight, In some detention cell. Its mother wonders why this plight? Dark Angels straight from hell.

I shall never forget going through customs at Heathrow where they insisted my Welsh wife go through one line, my 10-month-old Australian-born son crawl (?) through another line and I, as an alien, through a different line. So much for the family of man!
