A dream doesn't become reality through magic. It takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Gaunt "Immigrant" But who cares?

By Adu Sade

 Coming from where he did
 He was turned away from every 
 door like Joseph
 To even the toughest among us
 That would be too much

 He didn't know what it was to be black
 'Till they gave him his change
 But didn't want to touch his hand
 To even the toughest among us
 That would be too much

 Isn't it just enough
 How hard it is to live
 Isn't it hard enough
 Just to make it through a day

 The secret of their fear and their suspicion
 Standing there looking like an angel
 In his brown shoes, his short suit
 His white shirt and his cuffs a little frayed

 Coming from where he did
 He was such a dignified child
 To even the toughest among us...

What a sad and haunting song.
I one shared this song once,
But maybe the lyrics weren't biting 
As they biting and piercing today unlike then...

Today, the world is full poor and hapless refugees, Cold, hungry and defeated immigrants trying
To make a new start in a hostile, unwelcoming
And strange foreign nations...

But who cares?
