Nauru

NARUE Dave Johnson

A living hell - a countries shame
Where a child is deliberately detained
A prison Island – you don’t need no crime
Just be running from a devastating war
A deafening silence – No words can leave
And a scream devoid of any hope

She said, give me to the sea
Let the waves roll over me
There ‘ain't nothing here for me
No tomorrow

A currency of cruelty- votes to be bought
And thе country sales on amongst the fear and winds of hatrеd
No rigour in thought – frail arguments
Are washed up in a sea of daily news and empty slogans
So my brother – open your eyes
To a child who’se deliberately detained endlessly

She said , give me to the sea
Let the waves take over me
There ain't nothing here for me
She said give me to the sea
Let the waves wash over me
There ain't nothing here for me
No tomorrow
