For one reason or for the other their Homelands they have chosen to leave <br />From different Nations and cultures and on different Gods they believe <br />They bring with them their foods and their cultures they bring with them their music and song <br />And yet to the one human family all people as one do belong <br />To us they may look very different but to them we look different too <br />Yet when you look at it everyone is different and different dreams we pursue <br />Most of us have this need to be successful and most of us driven by greed <br />We do crave the respect of others respect is a thing we do need <br />Some of them leave their Homelands for adventure and some of them are refugees <br />They flee from the warlords and hunger on leaky boats across the seas <br />By circumstance of birth we are destined to be what we turn out to be <br />We follow the course of our destiny though some with that may not agree <br />For one reason or for the other their Land of birth they choose to leave <br />And they bring with them their different cultures and on different Gods they believe.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/migrants-3/
