1440 - Closed shop

They’re rounding up the undesirables
In and around Paris, so Sarkozy
Can salvage his party at the next polls
By ethnic cleansing shown on the TV
We’ve seen the separation of babies
From their African mothers and fathers
Women dragged along the street despite pleas
Screams or interventions of protesters
Well now the same’s been done to the Roma
Illegal immigrants: they broke the rules
Throw them out, anywhere (but not GB…
Remember those camps at Calais?) Measures
Must however be taken. The portals
Of Europe are closing, gents and ladies

  1. the 'gents and ladies' bits at the end reminds of toilets, and makes me think when they are shut you don't know where to have a wee.

    Could you write a poem about this urban conundrum? It is something that affects many of us all from time to time.

  2. Oh my goodness - that's a tricky one, Jude!
