Immigrant Children

Are not animals

Children in cages
Crying out for human touch
Screaming for Mom or Dad

Children in cages
No time to play
No books to read

Children in cages
Nowhere to escape
Living in tents in the heat

Children in cages
Not a lawyer or parent
Anywhere near

Children in cages
Did nothing wrong
Simply looking for asylum

Children in cages
Scary as fuck
What have we done?

Children in cages
Is this what our country
Believes in now?

Children in cages
Can’t get my head
Around this fact

Children in cages
Bring back the fears
Of my youth

Children cages
Must be reunited
Must be freed

Children in cages
How do we stop this?
Stop it today!
