There Are No Borders

There are no borders in the World that anyone can visibly see No borders even where the land end at the shores of the sea The people who create borders for to keep others out Are the sort the Human World may be better off without And in their sort are traces of nationalism, racism and patriotism and this is a sad thing Since of the praises of exclusion they only ever sing The gift of life to each individual only comes by chance And to whom and where we are born is our birth circumstance Xenophobia as we know it is of varying degrees Privileged and near to privileged people blame stateless refugees For wanting to live among them as if on their privacy and properties they wish for to intrude Only those with empathy and compassion have in them the gift to include The homeless and stateless and hungry who only know life as tough Who by circumstance of birth are known to live and sleep rough.
