Melting Crock Pot


Melting Crock Pot


The cultural invaders
Enter the closed community

With their strange customs
And different appearance       

Prejudice whispers soon follow
As if often does in these cases

For Sale signs pop up everywhere
Like dandelions in the Spring

The “there goes the neighborhood” mob
Takes flight in a moving van caravan

Overnight the former invaders
Settle in and become the Community

Now they are upwardly mobile        
Absorbed by the American Dream

All is well until new invaders move in       
And the cycle of flight takes off again
