Welcome? Poem by Alice Shaw

Welcome, welcome to all
Who can boast to do this?
Being honest, no one can.
Most will refuse to welcome
Those who scare and those who hurt
Yet who needs more help than them?
No one will welcome all,
Yet being together,
All the people of the world
Would live happily
And learn to welcome all,
Never caring about their origins
Their culture, their religion
Nor the colour of their skin.
No one is perfect,
Yet working all together,
The people of the world…
