Poem for Your Immigrants

Sea Sharp

just here to TAKE
YOUR jobs

 

just here to CLAIM
YOUR benefits

 

just here to RAPE
YOUR women

 

just here to NURSE
YOUR folks

 

just here to RAISE
YOUR children

 

just here to HARVEST
YOUR food

 

just here to REPLACE
YOUR neighbours

 

just here to TOLERATE
YOUR hatred

 

just here to RUIN
YOUR language

 

just here to BLEED
on YOUR streets
