BOAT CHILDREN
Each day more arrivals
in small inflatables
escaping from troubles
their homeland far away
they cannot bear to stay
so travel to UK
a risky trip from home
some children on their own
come to country unknown
they think it no problem
someone will care for them
but there are risky men
who seem of friendly mind
and help those children find
a landlord that is kind
then big problems begin
for they’re exposed to sin
and find themselves working
in jobs with wicked ways
is how they spend their days
for evil men this pays.
