Ode to a friend

Friend, why do they call you immigrant if the almighty already gave you a passport that begins with your birth and expires with your death.

but why when you are crossing the border you feel so close to glory , yet so far from home.
aren\'t your accomplishments useless when you don\'t have your family to share them with.

but why if you woke up yesterday with the sound of silence at home, you now wake up by the sound of cops afraid they might come looking for YOU

you came to this country looking for freedom, but have you really found it?. you came here chasing your dreams, but is it really worth it?
you live in this country, but can you really call it home? when home is not a house but where your family is
