The Immigrant Experience
Rootless, yet I exist.
Barren, though in soil fertile
and bathed plenty in sunshine.
Plucked out of soils akin
with promises of greener pastures.
Alas! a view from afar.
Planted amid suspicion
as to whether I belonged.
Believing I was one of them afterall!
Struggling for survival
and determined to succeed.
They call us the new breed...
the rootless wonder!
Living the faded memory of a lost home
amid a dying dream of some promised land.
What seek I yonder?
