Come back the country I love

Saturday 22nd March 2025 4:39 pm

Come back and put

Food on my table

Come back and bring me

Peace & Love

No one is excluded

and I belong here again

Not trembling over words

Or the bang at the door

It is you who don’t belong here

anymore

Timely and concise, David. What is happening is very disturbing, but at least there is resistance for the moment.
