Why Not
What I say or write,
Might get me deported tonight.
Different from when I was two,
When "Why" and "No" were all I knew.
Growing more inquisitive,
As years went by.
Confronting teachers with what they knew,
Asking "Why" and a question or two.
Final school episode,
Was a flunking grade.
Got an F,
In how I behave.
Not afraid,
Saw a life of questions before me.
Knew I was protected you see,
By the Constitutions "Free Speech".
Now today,
I can be deported.
For what I write,
And say!
