Accent
Crackling PA system
Cackling passengers
And engine
noise fill
The cabin
And our ears.
An accented voice
Friendly and helpful
Tries to send
Its message to passengers.
I cannot decipher
The message from the din
Of what resounds
On my ears within.
Now I grasp –
But barely –
How those who migrate
Have to cope
In understanding
The message
In the cacophony of noise.

Simon's still stanza 
You make a good point in these lines, and in an unexpected way.
Thanks John. Some friends and I were flying between the Greek Islands on a plane that had a lot of cabin noise and a crackly speaker. Although I was frustrated, I found myself in the shoes of others who may have similar struggles in my own country. Or, for that matter, in any country.
