The Coming of the Dawn

Welcome to the promised land there is a neutral gate No need to prove identity for that's considered hate Somewhere south of our beliefs implanted in your brain The notion that you're truly owed a life in our domain Not accepted by the mass you're still not turned away Buses waiting for you now you catch them any day Choose a place that you desire they will, help you find work You know, you have priority big labor is your perk Five million permits printed up they'll pass one out to you Citizens won't get the jobs they're pushed aside, it's true Chamber of Commerce lobbying to bring the masses here They lobby hard with everything the citizens should fear One day they're going to look around and see their country's gone No one to answer, for the mess "The coming of the dawn".....

Superb writing on the flaws and devastating effects of mismanaged immigration and unwise political agenda. We've seen it happen and can only watch in dismay. Enjoyed reading poetic gem, excellently written.
