Only America.

Injustice~

I wasn't born here,

but this is all I know.

I'm an alien,

in this country I call my own.

Not found in the system,

I'm all alone.

I'll never get the chance to be like them,

to be free,

and feel welcomed in my home.

No,

not in America.

...

 

No licence.

No health care.

No job.

No help.

No suport.

No,

not in America.

...

Make America great again?

What time are you referring to?

we have never fallen from grace,

because we have never been at peace.

We lie, we styerotype, we debase, we rape.

we do all these things and you want to call it great?

Yes,

Only in America.

I can actually relate to this . I was not born at this country and on my visa was actually use word alien. I also find quiet hard to make any friends . It's like when i am at closed crystal ball. Everybody can see me but no one want to touch me. Well about support for emigrants it will more go down. They even cut money for emigrant services . I think now prices are more like double just to make your visa for another year. I was always wonder what that slogan really mean. I think America was great before the white man came but afterwards . I am not sure. Thanks for great poem and reflection.

You know coming from the UK I have always found the term 'alien' used to describe someone living in America but not born there weird if not offensive. Aliens are from out of space aren:t they? Sounds like you get a rough deal. No equality.

I will admit my word usage is a little unorthodox, none the less, its to prove a point.
