Detention Centre - Pacific Solution

This place is no haven, hated and feared for the isolations found here. Those caught outside find it a gulf too harsh and unable to cope ... peer hopelessly in from behind the wide wall. Celebrate escape with a hundred floaty balloons. Shapes of my choice in a multitude of colours! But ask for the largest cylinder ... aah, who doesn’t love the donald duck squall. And $70 extra to be clown for the day in a costume you wouldn’t be caught dead in. Now there’s a thought (laughing)))) ... bond loss not an issue if you’re not there for the call. Songs of loves unrequited. Loves unnoticed. Loves lost and forgotten by most. Songs from long ago and far away now playing ... on radio station WTFuk soundtrack to a life made small. But where is the haven? There’s no escaping the pain and the fear. So option of choice - return to sea aboard the ‘Green Vet Dream’ ... cancer’s a country that makes boat people of us all.
