ImmigrationA Poem by KatieImmigration
They want us to think that
we have opportunities. That’s why they call it
America the land of the free. But what happens when you
don't speak English? That's when all of your
rights, they get taken. Imagine you are lying in
your bed at night. Your children tucked in and
you're sleeping next to your wife. Then suddenly when you're
sleeping. The police brake down your
door and ask you for your name, and you grab a picture of your girls just for
safekeeping. You know deep down you might
never see their faces again. But in you're heart you
can't believe that this is happening. And the last thing your want
your daughters to think is that you abandoned them. They cuff you and your wife
up. You tell your daughters not
to watch. This s**t happens every day. Because if you aren’t legal
you get sent away. America the heartless that’s what it really should be. These children are left
alone in this unjust country. And trust me they will always
remember that. Cause America the one that
took away their dad. Even if he and his wife were
legal. America would assign them to
work for the higher up people. I bet you think it's just
none of your business. You can just look away
because it doesn’t affect you right? Why should you take your
good time to help out the fight? And that's the problem
within this system. If the issues don't affect
you then you can just dismiss them. While you’re going to school
everyday. These children have nowhere
to stay. Their parents got sent back
down. And they got no other family
around. They get put into a foster
home Where the foster parents are
really in it for the loan They don't even know were
their parents are. America the land that leaves
scars. Just remember that Latinos
have a lot of issues to face But I’m not saying it’s
worse then any other race It’s culture awareness that
you lack But I can’t blame you, I
guess America failed to teach you that But sometimes the real issues
don’t get addressed And if they get adopted
people would tell them that they’re blessed. Do these parents know? There is a father out there looking
for his daughters home And they can’t forget the
day That America took their
parents away It’s a serious issue that
needs to get fixed But sadly it’s the last
thing on America’s to do list. © 2015 Katie |
