Song Of The Immigrant Poem by Tom Billsborough
Song Of The Immigrant
The sharp keel harrows
The sea's fallow.
Astern the seagulls hover
The shock-white memories
And blood-soaked cries
Of the homeland I am leaving
Behind forever.
A blank page
Tomorrow whitens
My future and my destiny.
Will it ease my sorrow
As I watch my life's
Receding shore?
And shall I now be welcomed
By the charity of strangers
With sincere pleasure?
I turn towards the bow
And the Sun's halo
Naked as Adam
On his first day!
Wow you have very awesomely captured and pictured the sailing immigrants that come sailing from faraway places to settle in various countries, they are like settlers of the past, like peaceful intruders who want a change in life and setting so much they brave the oceans ah. In very impressive fabulous style you have worded and described them. Plz pls do comment my newest poem too, titled, Llama drama, u might enjoy it.
Thank you for your comments. We should be kinder to Immigrants. They have enriched our culture in the past and will continue to do so. I shall read your LLama poem now.
I was thinking of genuine refugees. We makes a big fuss about " illegal" immigrants over here. I'm half descended from one of them.. A Viking who came across from Dublin! And my cat is even more so.. either Phoenician or Egyptian. I'll check with her when I've studied those lingos! Love the Bud the Artist cartoon today! Very funny!
