Stop the Boats Blitz

Cat: ,
Go away!

Waves drown dove

Stop the boats
Stop the waves
Waves of decency
Waves of duty
Duty of fairness
Duty of a Samaritan
Samaritan to stranger 
Samaritan on a seashore
Seashore purgatorial
Seashore with white cliffs
Cliffs like a castle gate
Cliffs with parapets
Parapets armed
Parapets for boiling oil
Oil not to sooth
Oil to repel
Repel from me and you
Repel from my back yard
Yard chain furlong mile
Yard three shuffled feet
Feet shuffled from Africa
Feet now at the channel
Channel a step too far for Suella 
Channel last ditch in the war
War for the Mail
War for the far right
Right rolled in a Saint George flag
Right but so so wrong
Wrong in thought
Wrong in deed
Deed unworthy
Deed so cruel
Cruel is her trait
Cruel as her blood
Blood that freezes
Blood so cold
Cold as stone
Cold as ice
Ice fields
Ice storms
Storms of lies
Storms to stop the boats
Boats of humans
Boats as necessary Arks
Ark for humanity
Ark with its dove
Dove of hope
Dove on a cross
Cross
Hope

Waves drown dove
