That all my billions of families of
red, white, and green
Will receive the chance to endure freedom
And soar like bald eagles.
And stop being bounded by fifty pound chains
Of states empowerment.
Choked by its snakes venom.
Arching vertebrate’s in the scorching hell heat
Sun rays stabbing their skin as they pick up
YOUR produce.
40+ hours of robotic movements in dark, dusty factories
So that Walmart and Shoprite experience
Can give YOU satisfaction.
Sweat running through their innocent scalps
Swishing like Niagara Falls
Parent’s tears run down their loving cheeks
Only thoughts are of their children’s needs
What will they eat?
What will they wear?
Will they have an education?
Their future.
That $8.38 an hour can’t buy.
Nor can it rent.
But costs them their lives.
Our lives.
Unfair justice system
Can’t even look at the work they do.
No social status.
As if we are aliens..
The Unimportant.
The Worthless.
And yet we pay taxes.
For the construction of
YOUR roads.
We join the Armed forces
For YOUR country.
We are your lawn mowers.
Your carpenters.
Your maids.
Your housekeepers.
Your cooks.
Your janitors
Construction workers.
Home health aids.
Waiters
Agriculture workers
Shall I go on?
But we don’t care.
While, we do make you look GOOD,
We are not doing it for you.
We do it for our children.
For our babies to have a greater future that
WE NEVER had.
If it means walking on hot rocks for 8 hours or more,
We will do it.
Is it so wrong for you to turn our way?
To give us importance
In this so called “Land of the free”
A billion puzzle country
Each piece is one of us.
Connected with you to
Create a distinct
beautiful
Artsy picture.
AMERICA
Legalize us.
Make us important.
Don’t toss us to the waste.
Help us see.
Help us..
Please…
Don’t do it for you.
Do it for the future…
Our FUTURE.
