WORDS/ LINES

Standing on the beach,
I can't tell you why
My passport lets me go and
I'm going to leave you behind.

So far from where we should be,
Scared of everything
'Cos of fearful words & lines.
But, 'we're all one,' or something.

It's privileged and naive
To say such things, I know.
But it's better than being any more
Complicit than we already are.

No one can be illegal for
Where they're born or how they live.
But privilege like yours and mine
Propogates through these words and lines.

So far from where we should be.
Scared of everything
'Cos of fearful words & lines.
But sure, 'we're all one,' or something.
