Ancestor's Caravan

Desperate people moving
Fleeing heartbreak and despair
Traveling towards the land of opportunity,
Seeking shelter from harsh rulers,
Seeking peace and a better life.

wow, what an amazing poem. It's too bad society is set up in a way that we cannot let in all those seeking a better life. America sure needs to make and implement fair rules on immigration.
