Island – a villanelle

We live on tiny island nation
Surrounded by protective sea
A rich and diverse population

A magnet for mass immigration
For people desperate to be free
We live on tiny island nation

All grow up with an aspiration
To be the best that they can be
A rich and diverse population

But truth is, many meet frustration
As many judge by what they see
We live on tiny island nation

They’re people, not an aberration
Enrichment to our history
A rich and diverse population

We should embrace all of creation
And welcome them wholeheartedly
We live on tiny island nation
A rich and diverse population
