This is my response to the Australian governments brutal policy on Asylum Seekers.

lyrics

Here In My World
©1999 Rose Bygrave

Here in My world of wealth and style
A terrorists gun and a ‘Karva smile’
Remember that shirt all clean and white… and the tie
Remember those people all locked in tight

I still see you
I still hear you and
I’m looking all around for similar dealings
Well I think I might have found some here in the back yard

See this boy
This boy is breaking
Body bare and cold as stone
See this law –black and white – big and brutal
‘I am nothing here on my own’
‘You don’t see me , you don’t hear me
You don’t help me from the ground when I am bleeding
You don’t know me, understand me, you wont help me from the ground when I’m defeated’

‘Are you blind
Or just born unkind
Either way your still a terrorist in a clean white shirt’

‘See this compound fence between us
For pity sake I was driven from my home
I’d rather live and love and die back in my country
I am nothing here on my own’

‘You don’t see me, you don’t hear me
You don’t listen when I’m defeated
You don’t know me, understand me, And I am frightened by your lack of feeling’

‘Are you blind
Or just born unkind
Either way your still a terrorist in a clean white shirt’
