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.
