To seek a better life in Australia should never be seen as a crime
But he is languishing in a detention centre like a prisoner serving out his time
Yet he doesn't have a criminal record and he is a good living man
And any fair minded person hardly would blame him for not wanting to go home to Iran.
the Australian and the Iranian governments have struck a deal it has been said
For to deport the asylum seekers those who had fled Iran in dread
Of torture because they had the courage to speak out against a government who rule by fear
Where human rights are never valued only stories of persecution one hear.
Why would they want to return to Iran where they would live in fear of their lives?
These poor souls who fled persecution in a country where oppression thrives
That they would prefer to remain incarcerated in Australian detention centres ought not be hard to understand
Since fear for their lives in the first place forced them for to flee their homeland.
He is one of those awaiting deportation and he is a very scared man
That the Australian government will make good their threat and deport him back to Iran
For a better life he came to Australia in a leaky boat across the seas
Still in a so called democratic country no welcome for boat refugees.
