Unrestricted Migration



Many who say “Let everyone come” don’t understand the view of those
Whose daily lives when they all arrive will very quickly be in the thoes
Of major change, as those who come’ll be settled in the same estates
As the poorer classes, rather than with the people protected by large iron gates.

But it’s often those from wealthy homes, protected from the world outside
Who speak in favour of welcoming all, and feel in that a sense of pride
That they’re so liberal and keen to help, while never offering to take
An asylum seeker into their home; to some their compassion might seem a fake.

But if they had to share their block with people from a different world
And watch the life they liked to lead being very steadily unfurled,
It’s possible they’d change their minds, and feel like those from council blocks
They much preferred their current state, and wanted no incoming flocks
To change their lives and make them feel a stranger in their own domain,
Which to them, would make them suffer  major losses with little gain
