Immigration
Klaus Langer
We are stuck
Stuck in a world of horror
world of suffrage
world my family can not escape
i, i alone
have an opportunity to leave
to leave the suffering
the identity cards
the hatred
the bums and scums
but to leave is to leave my family
but still i look i look for a way out
to England?
to Holland?
to Wieringen?
to India?
we send papers
and physicals and passports
but still no answers
no passage way out
so here i lay besides my family
in the cold
wondering if we will escape this or suffer through the end.

One of me
only
one of me-- so
don't compare or contrast
because only one of me
can be.
