He doesn’t belong
From their town from their land
Poet:
Dave Calder
Shows two different types of racism
With a smile or a fist say you’re not from here are you?
Shows his anger
And part of you says fiercely yes I am
Uses a paradox to convey his frustration and confusion as to why he doesn’t belong
And so you grow up both and neither and belong everywhere and nowhere much the same both stronger and weaker for the lack of ground”
He’s not alone + comparison cos they migrate
Though you feel alone are millions like you, like a great flock of swallows
The world is his home
Whose home is itself and the whole world it moves over
Run on lines to reflect him not stopping to try and figure out where he belongs
“Yes I am…../…..and so you grow..”
