*Sophisticated border fences reaching to the heavens with;
Sharp barbed wires,
High voltage electric wires,
Coloured CCTV cameras at every corner,
And armed guards stand behind the border fences
24/7 all through the year
With one big purpose ‘to stop the migrants from crossing over’.
The women and the children cry begging;
"Switch off the electric wires
And open the gate for us to come in,
Cut those fences open
And let us come in,
Destroy the cameras
And stop recording even our faintest cries,
Put down your weapons
And allow us enter your world,
Please give us a chance to live."*
