Holes in hearts
A mother spoke about
her daughter.
A hole in her heart she
cries out.
But that was not why we
came,
we came so she would
not be abused.
Her mother saved her
becoming
a gendered violence
statistic.
And became
another governments'
statistic
alive
just
Her mother saved a
brother
her kidney passed
border control
now labelled a british
citizen
leaving her behind
here destitute
High risk
of kidney infection
High risk
from immigration bill
High risk
of being left to die
by those with
emotionless holes
in their hearts.
