Canadian Experience

Canadian experience
They lack, they have
We lack, we have
And then she says
My newest sister
from a far-off corner 
just her voice rings out
strong and filled
with all the lived life
of her journey
and her experience
She says:
 
Canadian experience is not the same
For everyone 
Maybe all of us eat pancakes 
But some of us 
eat chutney with them

And my heart soars 
As there were always many ways  
of being
 
Yet only now we have
The voice to write
On all four walls
