Mantra for Migrants


Mantra for Migrants

Always becoming, will never be
Always arriving, must never land



Between back home unfathomable, is me 

– By definition: immigrant



I’ll always be oh glorious

Glorious unchangeable



In truth, I am in flux

Immigrant I will forever be



Migrant oh yes, oh migrant me

Migrant immutable amazing unchangeable



Always becoming, will never be

Always arriving, must never land


I pledge citizenship, unerring
Loyalty, to this State of Migrancy


- Shani Mootoo The Predicament of Or
