Imports and opportunity

Hebrews 13:2 

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels

 

Imports … and opportunity

 

You come from a foreign land to rule here some day

You demand the same rights as the ones who built the nation

You want your ways accepted and hungering for the way

to change this land of your wants to your own degradation

 

You came from places of despair where few want to live

The freedom that you had there was stored in leaking buckets

Here you raise your voice demanding that we give

what you could not get at home. Please go back and suck it

 

You want to change the world? Start in your own country

You want to be an asset here? Start changing yourself

And otherwise my dear leave this land as you found it

and raise your kids in freedom so they’ll respect themselves
