Mat Salleh Poem by Miemi Jamal

Far Distance they came
Hair like the sun
with Skin like sand
Different Yet so common....

Standing tall with Pride
Courage worth admiring
A smile sometimes a stare
Bringing judgment, burning question

Envy
The special privileges
Pity
The scant of depth


As different as it seems
The closer we get
The easier to understand

Life is a journey

seeking adventure
and seeking beauty

Different culture
makes you appreciate your own
