Lots of misspelled words need correcting I don't have the time rn to list them all for you. Grammatical errors as well. Really a pretty inflammatory piece. No comment. Last line is absolutely absurd

Thank you Carlo's girl for your review. You may have guessed I am a novice. I will review myself do better in future. Thank you.

It is not whether or not you are a novice. That has nothing to do with basic rules of grammar and spelling
Comment from Tina Crute
You brought up so many c considerations about immigration in a very diplomatic way. A humorous way at times, too. There has to be a limit on everything or nothing good will come of it.
Well done!

Thanks Tina for your review. Apparently lots of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. I can but do my best, and yet 5 stars. I'm not complaining, I'm just a common or garden poet doing his best. Not quite good enough for some it would seem. Thanks for not mentioning said mistakes.

Keep writing! I was a teacher. Feel free to have me check for errors anytime. I care more about meaning than grammar but just saying. Write as you feel led:)
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I thought this was a well thought out poem. It shares the complexities of immigration and the challenges it poses for both the newcomers and our society. I thought it was well written and does a great job of sharing those thoughts without preaching.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
It is hard not to take pity on people who are fleeing from war torn countries and poverty in order to have a better life. I would check your spelling in this post too Enrico, love Dolly x x x

Thank you for your insightful review Dolly. I, like most folks I know, make the odd mistake though the word 'odd' might not be the appropriate words on this occasion. LOL Although I am in my dotage, I often make the 'odd' mistake. And yes, there are many on this earth trying to find a way out of their present predicament. In every country there are refugees who wish to improve their lot and I for one wish them simply a better life. But at what point MUST we think about the future. 'Flood gates' and all that. What is Your answer ?

I think you misspelled "optimistic." Other than that, this was a great poem with a great point and message. Thank you for sharing this, and best wishes to you.

Thanks very much jessizero I usually let myself down in some way. I simply thought it worthy of saying.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I agree with you here, Enrico! This is a poisoned chalice for anyone to try and resolve. Certainly no easy, quick answers. And, yes, we are all immigrants and our countries are melting-pots of those visitors to our land. I mean, look at the transformation of the country that occurred under William the Conqueror. But the danger now is that the UK is too small and too broken to keep allowing people in without proper scrutiny and management. It should be a cross-party issue too, not mired in politics. These are people not commodities.
Your (as ever) thought-provoking and well-considered verse is a pleasure to read, not least because it is infused with so much character and individuality. There are some edits though:
e(m)igration; is no(t) meant to be involvement; we are all sub(j)ects; Throu(gh)out; exist(e)nce.
Sadly, I don't think I'll be seeing you as the next centrefold:(
Lovely and witty in equal measure! Take care Debbie

TRUE. But what is the answer ?

I concur Debbie..
