Justice for Who?

I look back and everyone is staring

They can't seem to keep their eyes of me

When they find out that I have a family that came to the U.S.A. from Mexico

They say that they should be deported,

They have no rights to be free

Oh really? That's what you think?

When they have nowhere to go that's safe

You're saying that they can't come to the land of the free?

Because of you 

And if they dare step foot onto your land 

Your going to lock  therm up into cages like animals

Because to you that is were they are meant to be

If that's not enough you take their kids ,

your not gonna let them be

And your not going to let them feel how it's suppose to feel in the land of  the free

When you stand and face the flag you say,

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Stated of America

And to the republicans for  which it stands

One nation,Under God

In the visible with Liberty and Justice for all"

Is it really justice for all?

Does that mean that not one person  that crosses the wall

is gonna get beat until there knees are tired and they fall

Does it mean justice for all?

I'll leave that for you to say

This poem is about: 
My family
My country

Hope you guys like this poem. I am not trying to offend anyone.

And this has nothing to do with the wall. 

What I wanted this to mean to you guys is that I think it 

is wrong to just take people away that are trying to start a new life

We are locking people up and sending people back withought 

knowing what the circumstance is.
