Best Immigrant Poems

Substance abuse out of sight;
Bargain donors Delight;
Quantum disturbance;
Humanity really hurting;
Relying on physical denying the spiritual;
Unmanageable
intangible
Spiritually ignorant
Disloyal spiritual immigrant;
Work and toil;
Loosen soil;
Help me Lord;
For I am more solid and spiritual;
Table mound of dirt and clay;
With the breath of God in Me;
Unimaginable

Eyes of An ImmigrantThe musty, foul smelling
Boat rocks
The room is dim
And silent
Everyone is waiting
For the shores of Ellis Island
They hope to have a new life
Start over in America
The room awakens
When the captain yells
"Land ahead"
Everyone cheers
I see the gleaming copper Statue of Liberty
I can smell the fresh salty...

Immigrant GirlIMMIGRANT GIRL
Remembering this night of our last touch,
when nothing is between us we should know,
in love with loving you, and just how much
I wonder where in time do such nights go?
Forbidden like a box all sealed up tight,
or like the burning Zeus refused to share
with...

Immigrant SongWe came to this glacial paradise
Frigid and arid, the weather's nice
Much like our Motherland
And so we made it ours box of sand
As it made us its slaves
We tamed each other in shallow graves
Free from starvation,
No need for a proclamation
Chorus
We don't own the land, We...

I was white but raised black by a black man.
As a boy, I have watched the Ku Klux Klan
on the news—and was frightened as a youth
who was “black.” In...

Underage Immigrant Crisis 2
Underage Immigrant Crisis 2
The problem keeps getting bigger everyday. It seems to
me that it is everyone's problem. There are a lot of horror
stories that are told by the kids that do make it here.
Some never make it and their parents don't know what
happened...

Everyone Is An ImmigrantEveryone is an immigrant
We all are human
I guess we belong
On this planet
Called earth
We all are human
Born by a woman
As she pure her
flesh blood on
Each of our heads
So we are here
Not as an alien
But citizens...

ImmigrantThe dark and moonless night at sea
reflected well his mood,
from where he stood out by the rail
the ship seemed not to move.
He was gazing far away
into years gone by,
where there resided youthful joy
to recapture if he’d try.
He wore a paper around his neck
dangling on a...

Don'T Call Me Immigrant: For Audrey Williams-SappDon't call me immigrant
Call me cherry tree
With pink and white cherry blossoms
Don't call me immigrant
Call me sunny butterfly
With swallowtail
Don't call me immigrant
Call me yellowtail snapper
In the cold waters of Florida
Don't call me immigrant
For Pradesh the taxi driver may not come
Pavlov, so well dress, may not...

Born DefectiveI come from the land of coffee,
plastic breasts and nonsense,
drugs and narco past,
very proudly they'll exalt.
Woman so pretty as blow-up doll,
got so many surgeries, you don't know what you touch.
Reality or banality,
inflatable, fillers,
makeup, extensions,
lashes and nails.
Got your complete package for the...

Son of SeoulSON OF SEOUL
Child presses sweet head to her,
While mother holds fast to him
Man busses forehead, soft lips tight
‘Gainst acorn-colored skin.
From ashes G.I. soldiers rose
To souls of Seoul set free.
Much taller than the rest, one stood
‘Bove war-torched Calvary.
And drifting now to streets of home
And bird-song tones...

Chamelions and WatermelonsCHAMELIONS AND WATERMELONS
One foot forward, pause a sec
Two foot forward, pause and check
Googley green goggles, round and round spies.
Slow reptilian eyes spots garden boy who in great excitement cries.
"deez aaah, aah, what seh in Ingish...?"
The garden boy tried words to distinguish....
