Welcome Strangers
From overseas they came
To care for our elderly,
Pick our vegetables,
Stack our shelves,
Deliver our goods
And nurse our sick.
Villified, demonized,
Bullied, denigrated
And driven out.
Low paid, unwanted,
Abused, despised,
Be in no doubt.
In this game
We have no shame.
Without too much lament
We demanded
That hostile environment!
