Airport
The airplane touches down
On the tarmac of the international airport
Of one of the superpower countries
Passengers,of different colours and nationalities
File out of it towards the immigration desk;
Each passenger is attended to by an immigration
Officer,while they make their ways towards exits.
Gradually,a passenger of black colour
Who carries a British passport
Takes his turn at the desk and is seriously
Scrutinized,while other passengers
With similar passport are allowed
To go without any examinations;
But he is asked to produce
His birth certificate,which he does produce
But not satisfied with these documents
That proved that he does own the passport.
What has he done to justify this ill treatment?
Nothing, but because his fellow
Black men have done some illegal
Things in the past make them to
Believe every black passenger
Is an illegal immigrant.
Oh! What a wrong opinion!
