Refugee Crisis Reported By the Bbc
A permanent fixture on the news
over here on the BBC
Is the Refugee Crisis so much so
it may just as well be given it's own
individual segment
And the general running theme throughout
is how we aren't seemingly doing enough
for them
Or treating them in the way or in the matter
they are accustomed to or were expecting
due to according to their human rights
But given that they come here uninvited
without any form of official documentation
and as a country we are struggling to provide
for our own
And yes i know what I am about to say
will be deemed by some as not being
politically correct or unemphatic
But whatever happened to that little
thing called gratitude towards your host
and not complaining about everything
and everything and nothing being good
enough
But hey then again I have to stop
and remind myself
They are all refugee's and asylum seekers
Wanting nothing more that just to flee
political repression human rights abuse
and the war raging in Calais France
And are willing to do whatever it takes
to escape and get here even if that means making the treacherous perilous
23 mile journey across the channel to
England in a rubber dinge
And put not only their own lives in danger
but their children's lives at risk as well for
want of a better life
And how bad must thing's be in
Calais France if none of them even
wanted or wished to stay
But it must have been worse than
whatever reason or place made them
escape or leave in the beginning
And obviously England according to the
news accounts coming out reported by
the BBC
Ain't much better either
