I wonder why they tell us that we need to go back to our country.
I wonder why I feel like my culture isn’t appreciated.
I wonder why people think we only sell drugs.
I wonder why they can’t understand the struggle we went through and go through
To come to a new country, To learn a new language, To start a new life.
I wonder why people think all Mexicans are bad.
I wonder why people think Mexicans are stealing their jobs.
I wonder why people think The Day of the Dead is a joke.
I wonder why people can’t take Mexicans seriously.
I wonder why people think my culture is irresponsible.
I wonder why Mexican culture is not known for its beauty but its cruelty.
I wonder why Mexican people can’t live freely.
I wonder why Mexican people can’t do what they want to do.
I wonder why my culture Isn’t loved.
I wonder if they know that all we want is our voices
To be heard.
