It hurts ~
to even think
about our history
gobbled up
as a mere commodity
when, as immigrants to
both countries, our ancestors
left the homes of their birth
to sail thousands of miles
to be sprung free to learn a new land,
to build new homes and communities
that nurtured generations of families
who are now faced with
a nightmare of nothingness
because someone sees us only
as a commodity.
“There is just so much hurt, disappointment and oppression
one can take… the line between reason and madness grows thinner.
~ Rosa Parks
