My parents came here searching For a better life Not for them For us My mother came here looking for shelter A dream home The perfect one Pregnant On the edge of survival Only to be confronted by reality Suffocating walls being built by ignorance Because she wanted her daughter- Soon to be one of many To be raised in fantasy Without the walls they want to bring upon us My father came here carrying dirt on his hands Supporting his family Us His babies So that we can carry on his legacy My parents came here searching for a better life When will we find it?
