Distraction Policies
What are the politicians up to?
Did you see those tiny boats?
I'd never board one.
Silly people
Trusting in a dinghy.
Rights, they are taking our rights!
All they want are our benefits,
Coming for our jobs,
Tearing our nation down.
I don't know what politicians are doing.
Now I'm distracted by social racism.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

This is sadly, so true. Another pointed and thought-provoking poem. Great challenge entry, hon!
