I Am
I am an alien, a rapist, a criminal
My accent and skin color makes this visible
I steal jobs, in no way contribute to society
They say an illegal deserves no equality
A country built on freedom and democracy
To me looks like dishonesty and hypocrisy
It’s a comedy, where’s the morality and modesty?
What’s it say on the Statue of Liberty?
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
But we’re denied passage and only end up in caskets
They spoke of streets made of gold
But something was left untold
The roads would be built on our shoulders
Till we grew older and older and smoldered
Yet we’re told that we’re unwanted
America wants us aborted and forgotten
I am an undocumented immigrant
Despite what’s said I am intelligent and articulate
Please what I ask of you is to be vigilant and indiscriminate
Understand that every human is their own person
If not our nation and communities will only worsen
