Immigrant
Sorry if I came here illegally
My country lacked opportunity
So this is how it had to be
Never took anything from you
Paid my taxes just like you
Society let the color of my skin in
But shamed my people and culture
I chased the American dream
As Americans wanted all my people to leave
I adapted to your culture
Your way of life
What more can I do
To say that I truly appreciate the red,white and blue
Thank you for reading. Visit jorgesouthkorea.com for more poems and writings that I have written.
