Isn’t America “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”?
Then how come there are people forbidding us from the borderlines?
When we want to trek abroad
Why must there be constant declines?

Was this not the land of opportunity?
Land of the free and the home of the brave?
We are all one diverse community
All created equal; we are no one’s slave

We came here in search of a dream
To be able to provide for our families
There is no other scheme
We do not wish to be involved in criminal activities

Society saying that we are all criminals
Is a crime in itself.
We are all individuals.
Each in control of themself

All we want is to be accepted
Not arrested.
