ICE

Dear ICE

How do you feel

Separating many innocent families?

How do you feel

Breaking many hearts

How do you feel

Repeating the Holocaust?

Does killing people make you happy?

Does human trafficking make you happy?

It's funny isn't it?

You're accusing us as "drug addicts" "rapists" "hopeless"

Yet, look at yourself

And then at your president

You all are the true

drug addicts, rapists, and hopeless

You all are the reason

America was never great

Other countries welcome visitor

Mexico is one that loves people

They make traditional foods for them

And make sure they come again

And what does America do?

They throw them into detention centers

They steal their children that "go missing"

And then gas them

All because they wanted a better life

In this so called "great land"

Why America?

Why are you like this?

To the people that want a better life?

And to the people that only seek peace?

Why are you like this to my people?!

What did we ever do to you?

Is it because we're immigrants?

But aren't you one too?

Didn't you all come from England for a better life?

What's the difference?

How are going to kill people

That moved here for the same reason as you?

It just doesn't make sense

Many schools teach Spanish as a second language

Yet, speaking spanish is "illegal"

What more do you want from us?

To prove that we aren't what you claim us to be

Huh, America?

How can you be this hypocritical to your people?

How can you be this disgraceful?

No words can help me say nice things about you

There's just no more respect from me to you

I hate you with all my guts

All this injustice is sickening

Why don't you sit back and relax?

Let Gen Z and many others educate you

Let us inform you what EQUALITY is

And how being RACIST is not the answer

Just surrender to us wise people

We'll help you have a better life

And finally make America

A safe place for everyone
