There is a hole in the ground
There is a hole in the ground
And we are all standing around
Staring into it
Wondering what is down there
Wondering who is down there
A hole in the ground
And it’s sparked our curiosity
What lies beneath?
In this abyss
It would be safer
If we all walked away
Just let it be
Let them be
But we don’t
We fetch long sticks and poles
And we poke and we prod
And we can’t leave it alone
We have to know
We need to know
Instead of just letting it be
Letting them be
We have to make waves
Rock the boat
Excerpt our authority
We were here before you
This is our land
You don’t belong here
Unless you follow our rules
Live by our laws
Dress the way we do
There is a hole in the ground
Someone is setting up home
We should make them welcome
We could make them welcome
But we dont

Thank you for the comments. The poem is basicly about how people are suspicious of anyone who appears to be different and how we react to them.
