Immigrant
running around, alien
no bearings, nowhere to stand
home’s on fire
but who gives a shit?
caught up at the border’s wire
too tired to be sick of it
they want your exceptionalism
before your simple humanism
they say you’re here to steal solely
or to impose your way of living
over an entire nation
that works relentlessly to put you in oblivion
immigrant
oh you’ve heard their many rants
the incessant screams, their little army of ants
while all you want to do
is to close your eyes and pretend that all’s cool
no matter the many earthquakes crumbling inside
no matter the crazy strong hateful tides
immigrant
a heart choked up in a racist quicksand
will it ever end?
