Cogent within writin’
Over Trump's steel walls they could not climb
Us radio waves warned, war of the world aliens landing
Refugees seekin’, solace, safely from war torn
Aliens r but u and i, mere human
Greed supplies trade routes, trucks and dingies
England invited windrush, promise
Of better life
Vacancies, black faces seen, no vacancies turned.
