Dear America,
You hate my brown skin
Yet you yearn too be my Carmel brown tone
That\'s why you tan no?
You hate my Mexican pride
So instead you say \" You were born in America you have to choose a side \"
You are in love with my cultural
but you don\'t want my people
You love Taco Tuesday
yet your yelling build the wall?
In your eyes, I\'m an alien, criminal, or the daughter of a drug leader
So that\'s why you claim you want me out
But you would be surprised at how many of my
Ancestor\'s contributed to making America what it is
\"Land of the Free \"
Yet, you lock my kind in cages and give
us minimum wage
I\'ve finally come to terms that because of my skin color
I won\'t get a lot of opportunity\'s and will always be looked
at funny or down on when I speak my language
But even though America was built on racism and hatred
You will never be ready for that conversation
So next time you try and speak down on me because
of my skin tone and because I\'m from Mexico
Remember I will protect those three colors with my life
and defend me until the end.
Sincerely- Jezika
