If Nicholas Winton were saving the children today
His Transport of Kindness would camp out in fear at Calais
Compassion is easier cast back through history’s mist
Abhorrence for migrants but Oscars for Schindler’s List
No humans may cross here, this tunnel is only for freight
Hurrah for the Blackshirts and see off the swarms at the gate
They’ve kind words for history, now for the iron-clad fist
Coldness for Calais and Oscars for Schindler’s List
The lords of the fortress will draw bloody lines in the sand
Armed guard at the border instead of the helping hand
They’ll trample the memory of saviours whose statues they’ve kissed
With borders of barbed wire and Oscars for Schindler’s List
