the foreign workers


The foreign workers
The lock down causing them fear
Not from the Covid 19
But from hunger

Those who came here illegally
Working on a daily paid basis
Without jobs and income
The foreign workers would cry

Staring at the dwindling income
Staring at a time of Covid19 blues
Without jobs and income
The foreign workers will cry

Hear it from a grapevine
A foreign worker said he attended PJ tabligh
Immediately he was whisked away by the police
Maybe for a simple reason free food and lodging

Covid19 tells us the weaknesses of policing agencies
The illegals running into millions we are told
How they arrive here in the first place?
How they can stay here for years or months?

The foreign workers
We have to feed them
We allow them here to stay
We should play host until Covid19 is over
