alienA Poem by saraits about illegal immagrants from a girls point of viewMama and me, Me and mama We are running together Towards the freedom of America We have no passports We have no authorization So we must sneak Sneak past the uniformed men That act like the river damns They block the rushing, wanting, wishing waters From getinng through.
We are almost there And I am thinking to myself, In my native country Where the sun beats down hot and merciless We are not wanted Here in America we will be called "aliens" But why am I the alien? What have I done to those in this country? This country that I have never stepped foor in yet Why in my native land do we all live in brick huts While the Americans live in grand houses of stone?
We have now sneaked across the border I am no longer unwanted I am now an alien I turn back for a last glimpse of the wretched native dirt Then, I turn my back Hoping to never see it again. © 2008 sara |
