The words are not made welcome:
If you’re seeking
‘seeking political asylum’
….it got jettisoned overboard
the mass of migrants rocked the boat.
When they shut down the cheesemongers
invested our pensions in the warmongers
'collateral damage' caused System Overload
and sent Go Home Vans to collect the takeaways.

We're constantly on the look out for new artists, creatives and initiatives to feature in TheNeverZine - so if you are, or know someone who is going their own way and doing their own thing on their own terms and would be a good fit to feature please smash that button below and get in contact. By talking to each other, and sharing our journeys, ideas and insights on creativity, art, mental health and resilience we can all create, share and thrive together. Nice thought that.
