London Street Photography with the Muslim Ban Protest March
Breaking The Golden Rule
As part of my goal to photograph more outside of weddings, yesterday (4th Feb 2017) I popped along to the Muslim Ban Protest march in central London.
Somaye’s Poem
“My poem called I Am An Immigrant
I am an immigrant
I am every musical instrument
Every mathematical equivalent
From the essential chemical element
To every science experiment
I am an immigrant
I am a continental compliment
A fundamental sentiment
A French kiss, slipping from your lips
Enchanté, you get the gist?
I am that je ne sais quois
That joie de vivre
That bon apetit
That croissant you eat
I am those chips that goes with your fish
That very English, oh sorry Jewish dish
That Danish pastry
That makes life so tasty
That sweet little raisin
Hallelujah, that Lord you’re praisin’
The pyjamas you wear
The blonde in your hair
The khaki colour of your combat trousers
Wowzers, awesome, wassup?
I am the tea and your china cup
That Sugar so sweet
In everything you eat
Coffee from the Arabic street
Cappuccino Italiano
Pizza Americano
Classical piano
Salsa and tango
From the hollywood movie
To the bollywood groovie
That beautiful smoothie
So fresh and so soothing
Your Greek democracy
Your German aristocracy
Your whole philosophy
Based on Chinese meritocracy
From blues to that reggae song
The Latin roots of your mother tongue
I could go on and on
Till the break of dawn
So when you bang your racist drum
Remember Africa is where I’m from
So don’t be so ignorant
I am an immigrant”
