Is This World For Me - Visitor's Poem

Is it safe I wonder
Is this world for me?
No I suppose not
Not one here with the same background
They won’t understand
Not one here with the same goal
They won’t cooperate
Not one here going in the same direction
They won’t stand by
Is it safe I wonder
Is this world for me?
Maybe it won’t be so harmful
To take the first step in their shoes
Maybe it won’t be so dark
To see the future with their eyes
Maybe it won’t be destroyed
If my roads are bonded with their paths
Maybe we are all one
In the same country, in the same home
Is it safe I wonder
Is this world for me?
