Migrant Suburbia of Dreams

with a pocket
full of dreams
you waltz your way
through adversity
beating the odds
like a man of mystery
in the migrant suburbia
(an imagined Universe
of desire, a melting pot
of values and dreams)

you rise
like the morning sun
laughing the night away
having experienced
the complex reality
of living in the tranquil utopia
under
the naked sky

you find
a new purpose
in life
in the land Down Under
secretly yearning
for the divine

you unleash
your imagination
drinking from the rivers of joy
and searching for
rhythm and attitude
in this glorious land of wonders
