| Notes | The first-person speaker of this poem considers the effects of global capitalism and the distinction between economic migrants and war refugees. She rails against the rise of racism and anti-immigration rhetoric; references the dangers of racist ideology as evidenced by the Nazi regime, and cautions against apathy. In the final lines of the poem, there is an explicit reference to the role of poetry in fostering humanity and bearing witness. |
