Japanese Internment CampsA Poem by Pen The Willows Wrote this in my second period, while we had a speaker who once lived in an internment camp. Japanese people American citizens Prosecuted for the crimes of a country they haven't seen for years American citizens Nikkei - anyone of Japanese descent Everyone against them, even their 'friends' Stolen from their lives because of who they are Everyone against them, even their 'friends'
Isolated from the rest of the world Nikkei - anyone of Japanese descent Trapped because of their ancestry Everyone against them, even their 'friends' Racist people are revealed Nikkei - anyone of Japanese descent Mocked for being different Everyone against them, even their 'friends' Nikkei - anyone of Japanese descent Trapped because oftheir ancestry
Cruel conditions American citizens Mocked for being different Prosecuted for the crimes of a country they haven't seen for years Stolen from their lives because of who they are © 2010 Pen The Willows |
