Assumptions

Bumptious

Blick into yesteryears

Bulbuli, Primrose, I trust

My kindergarten friends.

Living far in cold blond land

Miss the smiling morning sun

A wake up call for mother earth

Sunshine and the cheerful warmth

Today, cynical sky hang pretty low

Outside my clean polished large window;

Another gloomy dark day to follow, I know.

“Be grateful thank your stars, you’re in paradise

You lived hell, now you dwell in heaven,”

Said the easy going light coloured man.

“Correct!” “Well, but if I only knew

The bleak cold grey heavenly view,

I would beg to differ with you,

Your concept, of my solace!”

At a luncheon,

The fair gentleman

Was made to eat his words.

Losing the sunrise of one's homeland is a beauty one can never forget, no matter what the circumstances.

The shape of this piece also leads to a very interesting presentation.

No 'riches' can replace the love of a motherland... and to assume so is sheer ignorance. Would love to have been present at this luncheon... ;o)

Can I make the bold assumption that the gentleman in question never had to move his life into a new culture or climate?
