Exiles

Out here
we’re on the edge
where there’s no need
to wave
the flag
we don’t belong
to any group
we bring
our country with us
wherever we go,
and we don’t forget
our best traditions;
songs of dissent, compassion,
love and resistance.
we live
in the empire
of the heart
we keep living on hope
when there is no reason for it
for the sake of our home
for the sake of our home.
