Culture Photography by Ian Gillett Is there frustration with the process of migration? A new generation of creation A new type of rules and regulations What is strange and what has changed? Nothing remains the same with the strain and drain On the minds of man who cannot understand the plan Has it not always been that we are sojourners? Moving from place to place, getting the taste of another setting A strange man in a strange land Even though he’s been living there all his life The uncomforting of others taking place But it’s good to see a different face The population growing every second Change is always there to teach us a lesson Ever changing landscapes and infrastructures taking shape Making room for others to be inhabitants People crossing over, passing to and fro Trying to find a place to grow Different lifestyles, different tongues All types of people trying to live as one Continuous apartment buildings being erected All trying to get selected What are the effects of this integration? That’s stirring the hearts of a nation A mixture of cultures, a collection of taste An array of colours with so many strange faces Have now become commonplace Can we all dwell together? In or out, that’s a whether The world will continually change As granted, nothing ever stays the same Poem by Margaret Smith bite poem
