What Immigrants Really Want
Come out of the darkness, stand in the light.
Speak from your heart and give us insight.
Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey.
Saying you care and you’ll give us your money.
Offer instead, a small thread of hope,
A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope.
Shore up our borders, build a great wall,
Help the murder and theft

My Translator
“Mom, they called my name I won.”
“Mijo, estoy tan orgullosa de ti, qué bendición.”
Her voice lifts when I tell her.
Like music in a language they don’t teach in school.
At the store, at school, at the doctor’s front desk
I become her mouth. I become her ears.
They

A Judgment Day Dialogue: Matthew 25 for 2025
And the Lord will say to them on Judgment Day,
“I was hungry, and you defunded my food aid programs.
I was thirsty, and you rolled back drinking water protections.
I was a stranger, and you snatched me and deported me.
I was naked, and you gave tax breaks to billionaires.
I was sick, and you cut Medicaid and Medicare.
I

Promised Land
I have to be patient, and not too concerned
About the things I can’t manage
If some of the stones I left lying unturned
For this I cannot be disparaged
The island is so overcrowded and small
New comers arrive by the boats
They want to steal space, so the natives can fall
Into the sea full of ghosts
But what was Mayflower

Haitian Immigrants And Other Migrant Workers Do Not Eat Pets
Yes, this is a bad joke
Yes, this is a sad comedy
What an irony
What a parody
Smile and smirk, so you won’t be poked
What a hilarious lie! It is a travesty
Immigrants don’t eat pets
They eat beef, chicken, and pork
Like you and me. All bets
Are off. Let’s be serious and dark
Migrant workers are looking for jobs
What a spoiled

Reality Bats Last
At the end of the day
Reality bats last
So when you worry
That we’re down in the 9th
Just remember
Take heart
And find solace
That reality always
Has the final say

Welcome, All Ye Immigrants
Chicago, New York, San Francisco -- such
A deluge of immigrants -- they have clutched
At first they were trying
But now they are crying
Leaving out, "Sanctuary very much!"

Immigrants
When you came from across the sea
What were your dreams of a new life to be
Leaving home was such a big step
Hopeful of better things without regret
Was your home torn apart by war
With dictators and war crimes in store
And bombs that rained down on you
Destroying lives and loves too
You left family behind not to be

Immigrants
An estimated 75,000 immigrants live in Los Angeles,
All transplants from Mexico,
No, they’re not who you think.
They stand in rows along the famous LA streets,
A promotional idea of real estate developers.
No more native than the Dodgers baseball team.
The idea came from the French Riviera
Where these palm trees were also transplanted
And intended to portray glitz and glamour.
Symbols

The Immigrants
They are got a way's
they enter,
even the drowned enter
washing up on the near side of a border river.
Some will kill, rape, and rob,
some carry death in candy pills,
most are just escaping;
when we ask them from what?
They make the sign of the cross
and kneel to kiss the scorching desert
as if it were a beautiful woman.

Lady Liberty
The Statue of Liberty swam away.
She's headed back to France today.
The ladies crown got lost in the harbor.
She cut off her hair at a near by barber.
Some one out west claims they spotted her torch.
Now thousands of forests are totally scorched.
I heard she took some classic Monets and brought
along assorted souffles.
I think she intended to

An Immigrants Tale
We arrived like windblown dirt,
the steamer vomited us out
then wallowed into a smug stillness.
We migrants stood
to be led somewhere, anywhere
slowly we disembarked, disorganized
and straggling,
lingering on the dock for leadership,
for welcoming hands,
we were examined, passed through check points,
our crumpled papers stamped
with a smudged and unreadable seal.
Lady liberty with her torch seemed
as green now as

Ode For Lonely Immigrants
There is glorious hope of a future
For those who come to our shore
To partake of the broad expanse
Of promise we call "land that I love"
- America!
With open arms we welcome you
To our small towns and great cities
Settlers, share in the bounty of your
New home "this land is your land"
- America!
Native to this golden soil none
