A river flows into the streets
Blood flows from weakened heartbeats
A dry and fragile earth gets the rain it seeks
It comes and does not cease
Asylum seekers seeking peace
Find floods of hateful policies
And resistance pouring into the streets
Tears pouring from fears growing and rights deceased
A river flows into the streets
Its ebb and flow a forced release
It will not be stopped or policed
Until it meets its destiny

Well done. A poignant metaphor.
