On a bus in Sweden

Chatted yesterday with a man
Doing his PhD in Uppsala
And dreaming of a new Iran

A pretty Turkish woman
And a handsome Serbian man
Serving tables with joy and elan

Smiling young men and women
Working so hard
Without feeling alien

A young brown man brings hope
As he takes the reins
Of a floundering Britain

On the other hand an aging man
Is still obsessed with Ukraine

Many others who are in charge
Still lust for power
While climate-change looms large
