I'm so glad that you wrote this. It's something that needs saying, I think, and applies (imo) equally well to the UK, which David has already mentioned.
What's so good for me is that I can share the link. As a poem that is out there, and accessible, it's a conversation to be had - and a conversation that's a great deal easier to start with 'have you seen this poem - it really made me think' than 'do you think we're racist when it comes to refugees?'
Thank you for writing socially engaged poetry.
