Leak in the Melting Pot

by Gary Beck / July 15th, 2018

New York City
capital of diversity
hosts ethnic groups,
some in large communities
establishing alien enclaves
in a democratic land,
with their own language, customs,
refusing to adapt
to a welcoming country,
finding comfort, security
building foreign outposts.
