“I Welcome You”

A poem by Shamain Simeon

To the Dreamer

Don’t stop keep shining

To the Streamer

Your repetition sounds like whining

To the Teacher

Stay true to your calling

To the Preacher

Stop acting appalling

To the Lawyer

Find a true cause to fight

To the employer

Look after workers rights

To the Women

I feel your sorrow

To the children

I pray for your tomorrow

To the poets

By all means add to these lines

For these truths are not only mine

I welcome you..
