Escaping poverty stricken homes,
Risking everything, For "Better" lives,
Goodbyes to moribund mothers,
Coming back ...
A false hope,
Made it to the "Promise Land",
Scrubbing filthy toilets,
Working where others won't,
Speak American this is America,
Living under Trump's People,
Supremacists ready to attack,
The american dream,
Wanting change,
Wanting equality,
Needing fabricated pulpwood logs,
