Dunkirk

A car on a train

Who knew?

A man on the moon

That too.

The things that we thought

Beyond expectation

Are now de rigeur

For this generation.

Except……..

Where the norm

Is no train

And no moon.

Where things have played out

To a different tune.

Where rights aren’t upheld

Where things are not fair

Where people don’t get

Their birth-given share.

And so….

We need to speak up and take care

So that those who have not

Over there

Can make the same journeys as us

By car, by space rocket or bus.

And shoot for the moon and the stars

Even when playing football round cars

Without judgement

Suspicion or shame.

Because you, me and them

We’re the same.
