Tacos and Memories

Taken away by foolish ICE

Alone in his cell all he can do is sit and remember

Constantly dreaming of the day he can unite with his family again

Over and over trying to understand how his fellow man could be so cruel

So consumed by fear, hate and misunderstanding of all the innocent ones

 

All his life tried to live by example

Never did him a damn bit of good

Down on the ground handcuffed and in terror they threw him anyway

 

Man, just a man doing his best

Everyday working hard so his family could eat

Makes no sense why he was singled out

Over others far more dangerous

Reality hits hard as in tears he breaks down knowing he may never see them again

In agony still he waits

Every moment a living Hell as he waits for the hammer to fall

Soul inside him dies a little more
