In light of the disgusting comments made by the leader of Austria’s ‘Freedom Party’ Norbert Hofer; here is a call to stand up against right-wing brutality and inhumanity.
Solidarity not Charity
Compassion is not pity
Solidarity not charity
We are humanity
Earth is our city
I am not better
This does not make me sick
Nor a terrorist sympathiser
Because I sympathise with others
Solidarity is not an enemy trick
I am not a spy because I cry
For the suffering of “the other side”
The Mediterranean now a deadly moat
Our fortress Europe
An arc that offers no hope
All would chose to live, not die
Yet here we also decide
To kill or let them die to survive
To end their suffering is the charity of the west
Eradication is for their best
Selfish, elitist, hateful, fearful
Our Fortress rots from within.
We are not better
True solidarity is the only medicine
