Immigrants Make America Great

When you tell them to speak English Its like telling them to curse their Mother            
Sold her wedding ring so you could keep your Father’s last name              
bought a ticket to Ellis island screamed "Freedom!!!"  like she came              
in that accent…              
from that country…in which you shame                
America can get fucked by Columbus but it’s bastard children will be nothing like Spain…              
               
I am the 6 digit tattoo on your Jewish grandfather's forearm                
               
The smallpox vaccination scar on your Dominican mother's left shoulder              
               
The laceration on your first generation Mexican help that you pay penny wages to                
               
The bleached skin that hides from lynchmen and hesitates at whites only fountains                
               
I am the ape, the raghead & the wetback              
               
You are the "Make America Great Again" cutting off blood supply to the brain cap.            
               
We are the architects, the farmers, the champions & the rain dancers                
The reason we are "America the beautiful & the home of the.....shit....we have no choice but to be brave.            
 
He was the son, the student, the weirdo the home grown terrorist
