They have no need
of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard
faces could belong to you or me
Should life have
dealt a different hand
We need to see
them for who they really are
Chancers and
scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up
their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make
them
Go back to where
they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our
countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to
keep them out
It is not okay to
say
These are people just
like us
A place should
only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid
to think that
The world can be
looked at another way
NOW READ FROM BOTTOM
TO TOP!

marks the 105th World Day of Migrants and Refugees. We offer this poem, entitled Refugees by Brian Bilston, and this sculpture in Denmark as food
for thought. To access Pope Francis’ message
