[bodytext] => I hear a siren faint in the distance I see a flash of female skin I see a covered head I feel the pounding of people’s heavy feet I see people as they greet I hear people talk in a foreign tongue I hear the laughter of an African mum I see so many different people I notice they seem to stick To their own culture and it’s click In a city of many different people From Muslim to Sikh to Christian From Atheist to Agnostic to Jew From Pakistan to Sudan to Sri Lanka From India to Poland to Bosnia From Leeds to London to Bradford From middle the ruling class to the lows English, Urdu to Polish Arabic, French to urban ‘slang’ Chav, Goth to ‘Street’ Burka, tight jeans to short skirt Business men, street cleaners to students There are so many differences in people It sometimes is nice to see But can sometimes seem to me To be a lonely place to be All these many differences and me Where is my place in the many? Do I look to others to define me?
