The Human Eclipse



Sympatheticly I witness immigrants arrive
Infiltrating borders
Trying to stay alive
They become illegal marauders

Worldwide governments are experiencing this situation
Are concerned about their own population
Struggling to find a humane solution
Extradite with deportation

In the meantime destitute still migrate
Fleeing from hunger and war
For some it's too late
They never make it ashore

About this poem

Is there a New Year resolution to resolve this atrocity.

    Not sure if they will find that humane solution. Politics gets in the way.
