An evening with Stratford International


A Black boy walks with a White girl

Hand in hand

An Indian girl walks with a White boy

Hand in hand

A Japanese girl walks with a

Mixed Race boy

A woman with a niqab

Walking with a woman wearing jeans

An English builder with his Polish buddy

Buying egg and bacon rolls with coke

From a Chinese vendor who is

Selling German bratwursts    

And American hot-dogs

A disabled man clutches loads of

Sandwiches, distributing them

among the homeless in front of the

Shopping centre, where

All the luxury goods are on full display

Meanwhile trains are passing by

From The Stratford International

A gateway to Europe

Even though the real link

Was severed some time ago

Once rundown city but

Now a cosmopolitan giant

Rising above the skylines

Beautifully as always

Showing us there is

nothing to fear because

People are together
