Hope – faded – stay – afloat / in a stained sea sprayed motorboat, monochrome / are the faces, pasted with anxiety / lights flicker quietly, dying to know / is this home? No way to stay / composed when the fate of their escape remains unknown / low and behold, out of focus an approach the / most painstaking test of patience ever known / - from the cradle to the grave, overthrown, a / grey vessel looms like a Hades, maybe this is / it – hope – faded – taken to the / cages, now stateless – please let them go /
- from a place we’ll never know, once vacant live the / greyed out names and faces sworn to oath / wartorn, forlorn, stored offshore / forged into the stories rotting to our blackened core / barbarous bipartisan support – for a border / force – that traumatises, punishes asylum, and detains / human lives, faceless in a fortress that you / silence, ostracise, abandon on a floating Island / flagrantly denied, inhumane loss of rights, even / health professionals who speak are jeopardised, we / see – people die, capsized, and power exercised / you – authorise abuse and put it out of sight /
Let them go
Let them stay
Let them go
Please let them go
From seeking refuge to locked in an asylum, this is /
not what we do, we do not deny survival /
From persecution to a pacific solution, this is /
not who we are, we will not refuse them /
From Vietnam to Syria and Iraq, they are /
humans like us, we will not let them starve /
From afar to far away from home, this is /
not what we do, so please let them go /
Let them go
Let them stay
Let them go
We are / one – but we are many, and from / all the lands on earth we come, we / share a dream, and speak with one voice / I am, you are, we are...
