On this Independence Day,
while we celebrate,
children are locked in cages like dogs,
given a space blanket,
left alone to cry,
left alone to die,
never seeing the Sun,
a little boy cares for his younger sister,
a mother’s baby has no diapers,
They are not let out to bathe or shower,
they do not have enough to eat.
Their crime is coming to the land of the free,
expecting grace, or sympathy,
Mothers and fathers, hundreds of souls,
no room to lie down, no room to play,
They wait, and wait,
they are wasting away.
Lady Liberty stands tall and demands a change,
she calls to you and me,
Lady Liberty calls in agonizing pain,
for what she sees today.
This nation stands for equality,
for freedom, for humanity,
“For as ye have done for the least of my brethren,
ye have done so unto Me.”
