Immigration: Poem of American Creed
Where are you taking my mom?
Away
Why officer?
Because
Because?
I have to
Why?
She’s illegal
What?
You wouldn’t understand
Just tell me why
It’s my job
Tell me why you’re taking my mom from me!
I’m taking her back to her homeland!
I’m sorry but it’s my job
But...she...lives...here...now
Honey, it’s okay
It’s
Just
That
I need to go back to the land I was born
Because
I’m not wanted here
This land’s leader want to kick me out
because he doesn't want people like US here
I'm sorry but you will be staying with your grandpa...on dad's side
C’mon let’s go ma’am
No, I need to talk to my daughter!
LET'S GO!!
No mom, please don’t go please
Please...I...need...you
Please

Project Citizen is a youth writing lab that is offered as part of the Connecticut Writing Project at Fairfield University. The mission of Project Citizen is to empower young writers to engage in issues of social and political importance through a variety of genres in order to both find their voice and to become fully realized citizens in our democracy. Project Citizen brings together students from school districts and towns in Fairfield county that represent a variety of economic, racial, ethnic, and religious demographic groups in an effort to break down the "zip code apartheid" that stands in the way of true collaborative learning.
