I wrote this poem a couple of years ago in solidarity with immigrants everywhere. I am Danish but have made Scotland my home. Not everyone is welcomed by all. But we are all earth inhabitants. 🌍

I wrote a part two to my "I AM AN IMMIGRANT" poem from a couple of years ago. A bit more of a 👊 this time, but sometimes that is needed.

Once, two ladies were struggling with the bottle return machine at the store. They were holding up several other customers.

An older Dutch man decided to complain about those "fucking immigrants" to me.

I was honest and told him I was an immigrant (in Dutch). He looked surprised and responded with "Oh, well... I don't mean YOU."

I am a part of that group and will face the consequences of being a part of that group whether you mean me or not.

I think about this a lot.

"In the 1940s, West Indians came and helped build the UK. In the 1960s and 70s, people came from Africa and Asia and helped build the UK. Why is it that in 2024, you suddenly decide that immigrants are a threat to your country?"

Re @bbcsml I think asylum seekers and refugees must not be called migrants.

I AM AN IMMIGRANT. I wrote this poem towards the end of last year. It was one of those sudden sparks of inspiration where I knew I had to write a poem starting ‘I am an immigrant’. I lived in the U.K. over 21 years now and I love it. I lived outside of my native country Denmark over 25 (23 years in Denmark). I replanted because I need a different soil…. If you are an immigrant, why did you emigrate?
