Karl Stuart Kline - (3.5) Waiting at I.N.S. (3/22/2001)

2014-11-07 9

Why do we go without eating,
Sitting here in plastic seating?

Waiting for our futures to unfold...

We are here at Immigration,
It’s our new way station

Where it is dingy, plastic, grey and cold...

Contrasting with our warm, clean souls,
We are waiting here while they dole

Out peoples’ lives, welcoming them to the fold

Or telling them that their Dream
Cannot be, for it is they who deem

The future that cannot be foretold...

Karl Stuart Kline
