The Migrant Poem by Yusuf Adamu
The Migrant
For Sally
In a world that is continuously flattened
Frontiers are being more tightened
Opportunities becoming unequally spread
Earthlings ride on the ray of wheels
Riding to find the end of the rainbow
Greener pastures are found in the otherness
When an earthling is displaced or moves
The flat world turns into a round Earth
Its palms though wide open becomes closed
He or she that moves out sometimes made it
He or she that moves out most times lose out
In the otherness of the other and in our otherness
Humanity must find a common ground
For our Earth is also our World
September 20,2007 Accra, Ghana
Short Good poem. A very true saying, in the last lines of your poem, 'in the otherness of the other and in our otherness, Humanity must find a common ground' I couldn't agree less. Thanks for writing this poem and giving a different scope for thinking through the painting of your words.
