Holiday?

by Lilly   Sep 18, 2007


Good Morning sir
Are you OK?
Welcome to england
I hope you enjoy your stay

Now sit over there
Don't get in the way
We are very busy people
with very full days

Now that your here
go take out our trash
go clean our toilets
and please do it fast

Go drive our buses
and taxi us round town
go on get moving
do you not understand?

Here have a tiny shop
with tiny profits too
and if you're good
we'll get it smashed in for you

Now thank you for coming
have a safe journey home
it was nice seeing you
come back again soon

    What some people don't understand is that this is a mentality of a select group of people in our country. Writing about it does not mean the writer is in any way condoning / participating in it.
    If you wish to comment on this poem, may I suggest that you actually learn a tiny bit about literature first.
    This poem is beautifullly written, and the content is both daring and bold.
    On the basis of content alone, this is a marvellous write.

    On a personal note to the author .. please remove the script at the bottom of the poem. Anyone reading with even the slightest bit of common sense will be able to read in between the lines of this poem, and should enjoy the poem for what it is. A dig in the ribs of a racist culture that is beyond reproach. Anyone who cannot see that should not be reading it.

    Wonderful write.
    Great flow.
    Nice work.

    Actually its meant to be about looking at the people who treat immigrants like that. I personnally am very against it. I'm basing it on things people in my area have said and that i have read. You obviously don't have any idea how to analyse poetry.
