Red Gumtree 2

Like me you've taken roots 
In a foreign soil
We are migrants

Like me you've been pushed aside
On the nature strip
We are ostracized

Like me you are left behind
Watching the world go by
We are marginalised

Like me you are invisible
To the rushing world
We are vulnerable

Like me you are silenced
In the mundane whirlwind
We are made precarious 

Like me you are ignored
By the everyday crowd 
We are disposable

Like me in winter you lit up
People take pause
We made their day.
