Poems
Mar 27
Small Lives
colloquial
parochial
local
unadventurous
trapped, but not like a Budgie
the self censored types
restricted by their own fences
foreigners are fearful foe
emi-grants are government
gifts given to intruders
freeloaders and financial
tourism benefactors
Iβm not racist but
we donβt go to their countries
where there is war and famine
social and political unrest
persecution and death threats
for dissenters,
we are the focal locals
they should go back to where
they came from
