Welcome to AmericaA Poem by Jake StaffeldA cynical look at immigration and the land of opportunity.Welcome To America We'll take you huddled masses And the wretched refuse of your shores As long as they aren't sick Assuming they aren't criminals And of course, they must conform Cast aside all there old traditions And embrace ours immeadiatly They may not be of a different religion We sure do hope they're rich
We seek to make them understand That rights on paper aren't rights at all Don't bother protesting Your voice won't be heard Politicians have been bought Since the beggining And the wars we fight We fight with your blood
So Welcome to America With our filth ridden shores Welcome to America Where we're all poor Welcome to America There are no jobs here Welcome to America Now would you kindly leave? © 2011 Jake Staffeld |
