Broken English

His broken english is nothing to be made fun of , it is not broken language but rhythmic music The courage for him to adapt his tongue to fit another’s is an underrated accomplishment He had to leave his native home behind along with his lovely roots His spine now crooked from all the hard work he’s had to kill himself over He crossed miles of land to give his wife and kids a better fortune Who are you to judge and say this is a heinous act
