Migrants rode lonely
Lonesome rhythm in sound
Landless –...

Colloidal conspiracies

Migrants are here.
Festival of selfishness.
Only few host them.

Excuses all good
To avoid that this people
Endangers our wealth....

Illegal Migrants
Miracle Man
4/19/2024

Their sleeping bags and tents line each street,
making an eyesore of what once was neat.
The thing most unfunny,
we’re giving them money,
while our healthcare resources they deplete.

Winter migrants arrive with welcome calls
 the Indian Summer falters,and falls
 
Sycamore seeds twirl and twist
Onto a fairy-ring fungus tryst

Stink horn capped with slime,
As carrion beetles pass the time.

 
Yellowed leaves drift and decompose
into next year's cellulose....

The Border
The southern border
The migrants stood
There is no order
Too risky for migrants and no food

Buses of migrants enter
Where do they go?
A song is sung by an ascentor
Politicians are not in the know
Thousands come
No plan in place
Politicians decide
Failed decisions they must face...

For Migrants No Other Choice

When we had heard voice after voice,
Containing crying making loud noise;
Heading here,
Still with fear;
Coming to America was only choice.

To arrive in America tried and tried,
And yet after all of this she still died;
Another migrant,
To heaven went;
No water supplied and father cried.

 Almost 2 million people entered the United States without authorization in the 12-month period ending on Sept. 30,...No estimate was provided for “got-aways,” the thousands of migrants who evade detection and whose entry is thus never recorded.

IMMIGRATION.

Are migrants proud Australians?
Our nation based on immigration,
One polyglot meld of humanity,
To Australia, show fidelity.
Our nation of peaceful tolerance,
People from Earth's shifting sands,
Living here in Great Southern Land,
Deployment should not be our dance,
Nothing wrong with loyalty,
Patriotism our children's legacy,
--Great Southern Land,
All welcome to be Australians!...

Liberal or conservative 
the questionnaire asks
about migrants.

Fred’s in the middle.
Asked about The Wall 
he writes that he sees 

nothing wrong 
with hungry illegals 
crossing the border 

looking for work and 
nothing wrong with
the Trumpeter Swan 

sending them home
as long as no one is 
killed in the process.

But okay to give them
Wyoming and Cheney.
Plenty of room.

September sun setting low,
Fall in all its golden glow;
Anticyclones hold transient sway
As mist forms ,at the close of day.

Dogwood,jasmine,marram grass
In flower ,as pressure fills the barometer glass;
Evening primrose in scented bloom
Fill Autumn with  pungent perfume.

Winter migrants with welcome calls
As the Indian Summer falters,and falls;
Nature's tempo tarries,then slows 
As all creation begins to doze....

On Jerusalem's  shinning spectre
London wastes away
On bus Non speaking Englishman
in England's fair open land
The border centres have a heavy load
from your tired, tireless migrants
Tent cities erected in West End
human capital indivisiblely wasted
Crisis queues at A and E
14 years of  Tory waste
The Bird of prey
on England's blight
Give Labour a chance
invest in peoples power
stop unequal development up North

Wake up, O mom! It's time. We have to go.
It's you who wakes me up before God bow.
Trains are coming and going. You're sleeping.
Each one passing by seems at us staring.
Have I done something wrong? Are you angry?
I'll be your good child. Feed me. I'm hungry.

I becomes a We in any political ordeal
Masses are ruined in any political garb
Faiths are shattered by the leaders we trusted
Innocents sacrificed in the name
Of their nation and religion
But, alas!
Homes are emptied and 
Many crevices of the earth harden
With their soaked and dried blood
Cities disrobed with her little hearts 
Looted, plundered migrants

The heart and the earth wail to no avail!

Tears upon tears. 
Cruelty upon misery. 
Swapping hell
 For the psychotic sea. 
Capsizing in infinite night. 
Empty silence now ruptured, 
As haunted faces 
That once knew kindness,
 Wail and scream. 
Kick and splash. 
Fighting their surrender 
To the murderous depths
 and then quietness falls. 
But for the groans of a forlorn mum.
 The score will be kept. 
Statistics written up. 
Reported by the press 
Somewhere between the golf 
And the latest fashion faux pas....

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

Shadows of leaves against migrants stripped of bark

Children hidden against a darkened sky
A cup of river foaming at the mouth

Suited men and women laced swirl about with noxious airs
Walk blindly into an imaginary sun longtime set

Sink into the plastic remnants of bottles drank
The dew on their skin stings like acid spilt

Breathing particles drawn with charcoal pencils lit

And I think to myself what a Trumped up World

dear migrant
where you came from
what did you leave behind
memories moments

dear migrant 
who did you leave behind 
family friends
 
dear migrant 
what dreams did you not find
there
here

dear migrant
neighbor 
liked 
disliked 
wanted 
unwanted
I will never understand you
you or your reality
fully
partially
but I will try 
try my best 
to accept you
somehow
even love you
somehow

< depending on the degree of separation we experience we are all migrants >...
