Poem of the month 5/12

                          Migrant Worker

 

I am a migrant worker,

I have crossed the border with my self esteem,

The migration season has run long…

In fact the years have passed,

The count has been lost,

I am viewed by the natives of this land as a nuisance,

My face and skin are seen en masse with others like me,

They believe we share the same identity, the same soul;

They cannot see that I love my children;

They are unaware of the nuances in my relationship with my wife,

Yes there is passion between us; we do long for each-other,

Oh yes my love has a favorite fragrance,

When I smell it in her absence I pine.

I was not born in this land, I am none the less a man…

I watch the sunrise, I gaze in awe…

I watch the ocean glisten in the sunlight…

I feel the warmth on my face,

Yes the sun gives my face a glow…

If you look close at the lines of my face you will see…

I look like me; I am an individual…

I am a man like any other man…
