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
