Refugees Refused
And still the small boats come by Terry Reilly
Alphabet Tale writing prompt entry
Artwork by Renate-Bertodi at FanArtReview.com

Migrants fleeing genocide in yesterday's Homeland,
 
board unseaworthy vessels,
 
entrusting survival to killers
 
navigating lethal currents.
 
Xenophobic politicians, offering zero acceptance,
 
justify Rwandan deportation without qualm.


Writing Prompt
Craft an entry 26 words long. You must use every letter of the alphabet once and only once for the first letter of each word.
It can be poetry or prose. It doesn't need to be a story but should be a cohesive whole (not just a list of words).

Author Notes
Those desperate families who risk everything to seek a safer future
now face deportation to Rwanda as poiliticians trying to save their seats pander to vociferous xenophobic back benchers.
Rule Brittania!
