Immigrants: Who Are They

Wed, 01/31/2018 - 11:52 -- Nica

Who are we?

we are humans

we are mothers

fathers

sons

daughters

who are sacrificing for thier love ones

everyday

hour

minute

second

even if that means being exploded during working hours

waking up at four in the morning and getting paid for only a slice grain of sand

because of the wretch damn reason that we do not speak the high elegant voice like los gabachos

our voices are buried deep inside the hole of voices threatening us with deportation

Is that what we get in return for taking out the bull out of the gully for them

but everything is worth doing it  for our love ones

even if it means giving your life to them,

why?

because that is who we are in reality
