Island Of Strangers

We’re already there.
Where no-one leaves their doors unlocked,
Where suspicion is the prime emotion,
Where the sick are a burden,
Where the poor are third class,
Where trans people are legislated against,
Where foreigners are scum,
Where race crime is in fashion again,
Where anyone different is bad,
Where intolerance is encouraged,
Where Europe is the enemy,
Where racists are true friends,
Where no-one is allowed to trust another,
Where the only respected minority is fascist,
Where no promises are kept,
Where love is a foreign word,
Where empathy is discouraged,
Where truth is a dirty word,
Where everyone hates each other,
Where political expediency trumps statesmanship,
Where culture is broken,
Where there’s no future.
