they are different
just look at them
their skin color their clothing their speech
their customs the way they move their bodies
we like them as tourists
they leave money in our country
and then go home again
if they buy the house next to us
THAT’s different
it takes a conscious effort
to see them not as aliens
but as our neighbors
lest we become aware
that all of us are aliens
in most countries of our globe
