"All
they will call them…"
John
Tomlinson
People keep
coming to my country.
The First
Peoples arrived first.
Then soldiers
and sailors
thieves and
blackmailers.
Next we let
into our fold
Yanks and
Chinks
who came for
gold.
After World
War II we imported
Dagos, Wogs
odds and sods
five quid
Poms,
pimps and
toms.
Off we went
with Uncle Sam
dropping agent
orange and
napalm
the length and
breath of
Vietnam.
We had boat
people arrive
many of them
hardly alive.
The latest
arrivals, we are told,
are queue
jumpers, not proper refugees.
They are from
the Middle East
the very
people we want least.
Ruddock's job
is to get it sorted.
They, he says,
should be deported.
The army calls
them
Suspected
unlawful non-citizens
S.N.U.C.S for
short
Why are they
called that do you suppose?
Do they have a
nasty effect on your nose?
The Government
attempts to apportion blame
they'll do
anything to hide their shame.
They have
decreased our foreign aid,
exported
weapons Australian made.
They claim we
want full global trade
but, refugees
should stay.
Stay where
they are made.
