WHY US?

By Lee


We are given numbers

forced into horribly,

smelly rooms

we have no roof

buried in the sand

each day

Why us?


We wait in long lines and all we get is slop

No space for our belongings

We have done no wrong.

Why Us?

I ask you now

Why us?

When only our ancestors are from Japan?


I feel trapped and lost

what is going on?

It is dark and dank

I am separated from my family

diseases are spreading

and so is the question

Why us?
