Some Politicians                          by Judith Rodriguez

To have preached even for a moment

that money matters

more than the good it buys

to have proclaimed the end of caring;

to have unmothered the State

                     and left orphans to the wind;

to have waged phony battle

on the homeless and fugitive,

the needy come to our door;

to have danced on a tally of the drowned

to have pursued the desperate

for electoral triumph;

these are your names

on the sea-bed at our shore gate

behind razor wire

among the fatherless

the trapped and the destitute

and among the separated families.

Please use this poem to bring pressure on your politician 
to be more compassionate and stop the cruelty to asylum seekers.

However it was reported at the meeting held on 1 June 2014 that six handwritten letters are more powerful than templates and emails,and will be read by the recipient.   

Phone calls are also more likely to get the message to the intended recipient.
