Pardon My Ignorance Poem by Raj Arumugam

Pardon My Ignorance



O how ignorantly
how innocently
I have fallen,
tripped over a wire
and set off a mine.
O how could you not have said
careful there...tread gently...
Place your foot here...
Is this how,
you cold uncaring entrenched bureaucrats,
is this how
you treat a stranger?





(from The Migrant - notes of a newcomer (February 1997- July 1998))
