Poem
as wars are waged in our homelands we sit out here gettin education for our own future, thinkin of ourselves, we forget about the whole purpose of our mission to America, we capture the American culture and forget our own, we show gang signs and skip school instead of learning what we came to learn, we act as if this was our own country, when we know we’ve only been here for few years, we act as if we know everything and don’t need school, when school was the whole reason for being here, we start fights at school, when part of the reason we were here was to get out of violence, we get on welfare and cheat the system instead of gettin a job, we leave home telling parents we’re going to be doctors and get to school acting gangsters, we talk about making differences in other’s lives when we’re the ones that need to change first, we say we are discriminated against, knowing that it’s our own people discriminating against us, we watch our people suffer in our homeland on television and shed a little bit of tears to make ourselves feel better and talk about different subject as soon as it’s over, we are cared for, more than we care about ourselves and each other, when something occurs in a country where we benefit from, we focus on that country till everything is situated, but if it occurs in our homeland where no benefit comes from, we turn our cheeks and ignore it as if it never happened, we are convinced to believe what we see on television, we talk about freedom, opportunity, and justice but really when the number one thing that matters the most is money, money is not only used but also worshiped due to the fact that you can buy out laws, how could there be an equal opportunity when only the rich get richer off the poor and the poor are left to survive on what they can and then thrown in jail for trying to stay alive, we watch the news to only see the negativity of our surroundings, we talk about the future of our next generations but disrespect them about their knowledge, we call our country “United States of America,” while we terrorize one another, where is the unity in that? how can we unite when we think so far apart? how can we make a difference without changing oneself? what makes us who were are, also makes us an enemy, who do you think is “we” when I say we
