Today’s poem is called ‘Please Bear in Mind’.

Please Bear in Mind

that the Department of Visas & Immigration
claims he has ideas above his station,
having arrived into this great nation
without the proper documentation.

But here’s what they fail to understand:
this is not the life he had planned;
he could no longer stay in his homeland;
he’s only looking for a helping hand.

His wellies are red, his duffle coat blue.
He wears a wide-brimmed hat from Darkest Peru.
If you should see him, here’s what to do:
Please look after him. That’s all. Thank you.

Brian Bilston
