Rest in Hate ✝️ #politicalpoetry #poetry #spokenword #hostileenvironment...


“We must say no to illegal migration”

said the innkeepers to Joseph & Mary

They had been leant on by concerned locals with legitimate concerns

They looked for a place to give birth

Joseph was very worried about the size of Mary’s girth

They passed windows with the Cross of St George and the Union Jack

They were booed and jeered behind their back

“This is a Christian country”

the concerned locals cried

“Give us a chance” cried Jesus from inside the womb

“I haven’t been born or even crucified yet”

The portents were laden with doom

Nick Tenconi cosplaying as King Herod

wobbles in front of his men!

Fists in the air they cry

“We bulldogs wobble but we don’t fall down”

The police as agents of the state

cosplaying as chocolate teapots

“We understand your concerns”

Labour’s Shabana is in a mood

She wants asylum seekers to understand

that there is no such thing as a promised land

British punters are laden with goods

from the shops they come with all their food.

“We’re full, there’s no room at the Inn”

they turn to the man with the darker skin

he turns and replies

“Rest in Hate”
