Our world
If you came up to me the street
and asked “Where are your from?”
I would have to say
”I don’t know!”
This is because my family history
is a mystery to me.
Its the undefined,
the beautiful image that’s being covered
by fog.
By Lies.
My Dad’s grandparents lied
while immigrating to this country.
They claimed to be from Poland.
Why?
Because that’s better than being from
Romania
or Mongolia
or Germany.
Because in the world that we live in
it's better to lie
to ourselves
to the government
to our families.
In our world
It's better to lie
Because you'll be accepted
You'll be loved
You'll be welcomed.
In our world people of a
Race
Gender
Religion
That we don't like, should lie about it.
That's our world.
So why don't we change?
