america 2.0.13 where were you born?

we are people of the world

born into interconnectedness

born into complexity

. 

immigrants you say

?

those people willing to work jobs 

you are unwilling to work

should be given a safe harbor

. 

people needing to escape apartheid

people needing to escape oppression

people needing to escape dictators 

people needing to escape death

. 

and your coffee is a million dollars too hot

?

listen

we should be giving 

respectful consideration

.

as i recall

our great grandparents 

were immigrants too

or refugees or slaves

. 

as i reflect, my step-children 

are of indigenous descent

(tell them about immigration)

.

your white european ancestors

(the original invaders)

who have since trashed 

every part of 

my kids' native lands

.

get over your right self

.

let us work

let us work together

for a better world

.
