How many of the “children” from the Calais Jungle camp,
Bear anything resembling an adolescent stamp?
The faces of so many of them obviously display
Signs that they are adult men, whatever they might say.
Their confidence and certainty are not those of the young,
But full-gown men who’ve long moved on from any teenage
rung.
But if they say they’re children, then perhaps the general
rule
Should be that they aren’t fostered, but sent straight to
boarding school,
With uniforms and strict control on everything they do,
Although being treated as a child might anger quite a few,
Who are no longer children, and know that foster care
Means they can do what they want, with no restrictions there.
