The Immigrant & The Illusion



There was a time
Landed on new shores
From Somewhere
A storied old space

Generations after
A new experiment
An old language, a relic
New culture of less culture

Newly created forefathers
New Holidays, New Music
New Schools, New Rules
Surreal Perhaps

One’s Own History
Became a Mystery
The Old Familiar
An Illusion, Not So Similar

Tumultuous Change
The Earth, Rearranged
The Immigrant
Are We Not All?
